Oncoplastic surgery is typically performed in conjunction with a lumpectomy. To proceed, the surgeon will remove the tumor, some surrounding tissue, and possibly some nearby lymph nodes. The plastic surgeon will then perform a bilateral breast reduction or lift to symmetry the two breasts.
Breast cancer surgery and plastic surgery procedures are carried out one after the other. This has several benefits:
Only one surgical session is required.
Allows for the removal of a greater amount of tissue, which can be beneficial for larger tumors.
Makes it easier to produce symmetrical breasts
Performed prior to radiation therapy, which assists patients in avoiding potential complications associated with exposing surgical wounds to radiation.
