4. Psychological Effects
One of the biggest possible effects of having a mastectomy that the majority of people are never fully taught to prepare for before their surgery is the potential psychological effect that having such surgery might have on someone; people attribute a lot of importance to their breast tissue, and finding that a part of their body is gone might feel as essential as having lost a limb – but there are ways to deal with this in a way that won’t negatively impact your life.
There are many support groups out there that can help to lessen the psychological effect of having such a drastic surgery; you might even find that a new wardrobe or look can help to give you a massive confidence boost that can help you to feel a lot better about yourself.
If this doesn’t help, seek professional assistance to deal with any potential psychological effects.
