Hi, Dr. Tony here! And we have some questions about, what do we do with the tissue - the breast tissue - after we remove it during top surgery? Well, one of three things can happen. The most common is most of my patients are young, their risk of breast cancer is pretty minimal so we'll just dispose of it in one of these biohazard bags. This biohazard bag gets picked up on a regular basis by a company called Stericycle and they will actually incinerate it and give us a receipt back saying that this tissue was incinerated at this time and this date. The second thing is, if you've had a history of breast cancer and you're concerned about breast cancer, we'll actually package it up and send it to the pathologist. And the third option is some of my patients want to take their tissue home with them. I have one patient that was quite interesting in that he wanted to throw the breast tissue in his freezer and one year later, he wanted to pull it out and have a party and bury the boobs he never wanted in his backyard. And it's perfectly legal to do that, we just have to package it up in the right way. But, what a great way to celebrate your one-year man-niversary.
