Breast oncoplasty surgery is a revolutionary approach that combines cancer removal with reconstructive techniques to treat breast cancer while preserving or enhancing the breast’s natural appearance. This procedure ensures complete tumor removal with safe margins while reshaping the breast for symmetry and aesthetics. Depending on the case, we may use volume displacement (reshaping with existing tissue) or volume replacement (using tissue flaps from other body areas) techniques. It can be performed immediately after tumor removal or delayed, depending on the patient’s treatment plan. This innovative surgery not only offers effective cancer treatment but also addresses emotional well-being by restoring confidence and quality of life. Regular follow-ups ensure healing, monitor results, and maintain oncological safety.

Wide excision lumpectomy is a procedure that removes a cancerous lump / suspicious lesion along with a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue, aiming to preserve the natural appearance of the breast. This surgery is commonly used for early-stage breast cancer / suspected indeterminate lesions By combining effective cancer treatment with a focus on cosmetic outcomes,wide excision lumpectomy allows patients to maintain a sense of normalcy while addressing their health needs.

A sentinel lymph node biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to determine if cancer has spread to the lymph nodes. It involves identifying and removing the sentinel lymph node(s), the first node(s) to which cancer cells are likely to spread from the primary tumor. A dye is injected near the tumor to locate these nodes. The removed node is then examined for cancer cells, helping guide further treatment decisions. This reduces the need for extensive lymph node removal, minimizing side effects like lymphedema.

A mastectomy is a surgical procedure to remove one or both breasts, either partially or entirely, to treat or prevent breast cancer. It is often recommended for patients with large tumors, multiple cancerous areas, or a high genetic risk, like BRCA mutations. Types include total mastectomy and skin- or nipple-sparing options, often followed by reconstruction to restore appearance.

Axillary lymph node dissection is a surgical procedure to remove multiple lymph nodes from the underarm (axilla) area to determine or treat the spread of cancer, particularly breast cancer. It is typically performed when cancer is confirmed in the lymph nodes through a biopsy or other tests. The procedure may involve removing levels of nodes based on the extent of cancer spread. While effective in cancer management, it carries risks like lymphedema, numbness, and reduced arm mobility. Axillary lymph node dissection is often followed by physical therapy and other treatments to support recovery and improve quality of life.

Breast reconstructive surgery is a procedure to restore the shape, appearance, and symmetry of the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It can be done using implants (silicone or saline) or autologous tissue (flaps of skin, fat, or muscle from another part of the body, like the abdomen or back). Reconstruction can be performed immediately after breast cancer surgery or delayed based on the patient’s treatment plan. Techniques like nipple-sparing mastectomy or 3D tattooing further enhance aesthetic results. This surgery helps improve emotional well-being, body image, and confidence, offering patients a sense of wholeness after cancer treatment.
