HI. Very good question.
This depends upon how big is the lump, the exact site, whether you are unmarried or married ( children and husband's wish if you are married). Any surgeon with a good practice knows well all these criteria so please do not worry. General Surgeon can do this nicely. Please discuss with Him all the points i have noted. Well the lump being of cancer or not is the most important criteria and an excision biopsy is the best way, so go ahead. The Surgeon surly will be bothered about the aesthetic.
