Oncoplastic breast reconstruction is a technique that combines plastic surgery with breast surgical oncology. This technique is performed when a lumpectomy is necessary. The lumpectomy leaves the breast restored,
the plastic surgeon will sculpt the tissue that is left and realign the nipple and the areola to bring back a natural appearance. If only one breast is affected, it is recommended that the other breast receives the same procedure to maintain symmetry.
When is an oncoplastic breast reconstruction recommended?
Oncoplastic breast reconstruction is recommended for patients who do not want larger breasts and are candidates for breast conservation therapy and are also eligible for a breast reduction or breast lift.
This is a good option for patients who want to avoid flap and implant reconstruction for a shorter recovery period and a more natural result.
What are the benefits of oncoplastic breast reconstruction?
Oncoplastic breast reconstruction will allow you to save the eligible breast tissue. An oncoplastic breast reconstruction simply molds tissue that is already there without adding a flap or implants. This result is a smaller but enhanced breast than before the lumpectomy.
Patients who suffered from saggy, droopy or overly large breasts will benefit from this procedure because they will be achieving two important outcomes in one surgery. Enhanced and reconstructed breasts.
With this procedure, you will have the most natural outcome because your breast will still be made out of its own original tissue.
