What Is Oncoplastic Breast Surgery?

Oncoplastic Breast Surgery integrates two key components:

1. Oncologic Surgery

  • Complete removal of the cancerous tumor

  • Ensures clear margins to reduce recurrence risk

  • Accurate staging and node assessment

2. Reconstructive / Plastic Surgery Techniques

  • Reshapes the breast

  • Restores symmetry

  • Minimizes visible scarring

  • Prevents breast deformity after tumor removal

When Is Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Needed?

It is recommended for patients with:

  • Early-stage and selected locally advanced breast cancers

  • Tumors requiring large tissue removal

  • Breast deformities expected after lumpectomy

  • Tumors located in cosmetically sensitive areas

  • Desire for breast conservation with enhanced aesthetic outcome

  • Asymmetry or breast volume imbalance

Types of Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Offered

1. Volume Displacement Techniques

2. Volume Replacement Techniques

Tumor removal combined with breast reduction or reshaping—improves both cancer outcome and breast aesthetics.
