Oncoplastic breast surgery combines the techniques of traditional breast cancer surgery with the cosmetic advantages of plastic surgery. The goal is to remove cancer while minimizing the unwanted effects of surgery, helping patients heal both physically and emotionally.
The breast cancer surgery operation and plastic surgery operation are performed one after the other. Doing this has several benefits:
Requires only one surgical session
- Allows a greater amount of tissue to be removed, which can be helpful for larger tumors.
- Makes it easier to produce symmetrical breasts.
- Performed before radiation therapy, which helps patients avoid potential complications of exposing surgical wounds to radiation.
