Frequently Asked Questions

Triple assessment combines a specialist examination, imaging (mammogram and/or ultrasound) and, where needed, a needle biopsy. It is the gold-standard way to assess a breast change.

Imaging results are usually explained on the same day. If a biopsy is taken, those results typically follow within 3 to 5 working days.

It depends on your age and the question being asked. Ultrasound is often preferred under 35; mammography is added for women 40 and over. Mr Ghosh advises the right test for you.

A mammogram uses a low dose of X-ray radiation. For women aged 40 and over, the benefit of accurate diagnosis outweighs the small exposure.

Yes. We require a two-week reflection period between consultation and surgery, so your decision is fully considered. We do not run discounts or time-limited offers on surgery.

Cancer and reconstructive surgery are generally covered by insurers. Cosmetic surgery is usually self-pay. We will help you check your cover.

Mr Ghosh and the specialist nursing team provide a written recovery plan, follow-up consultations and a direct point of contact for any concerns.
