Breast Surgery Post Operative InstructionsThe following are some general guidelines for you to help assist in your recovery after breast surgery. Breast Procedure Information An ultrasound guided core needle breast biopsy is a procedure which takes tiny samples of breast tissue which can then be studied under the microscope. During this procedure, the ultrasound helps to locate the tissue that needs to be removed. This type of biopsy may prevent the need for an open surgical biopsy.
