Breast cancer oncoplastic surgery

Breast Cancer Surgery

Breast cancer surgery planned around cancer safety, breast shape, lymph node status and the full treatment sequence. The aim is to remove the tumor completely while preserving confidence, function and long-term quality of life.

Surgical Choices

  • Breast conservation surgery when tumor size and breast volume permit.
  • Oncoplastic reshaping to combine cancer removal with cosmetic planning.
  • Mastectomy, skin-sparing or nipple-sparing surgery where suitable.
  • Reconstruction coordination when immediate or delayed reconstruction is planned.

Lymph Node Management

  • Sentinel lymph node biopsy for selected early breast cancers.
  • Axillary node dissection when disease burden requires it.
  • Planning to reduce arm swelling, stiffness and shoulder limitation.
  • Pathology-based decisions for chemotherapy, radiation or hormone therapy.

Personalized Planning

Breast surgery is individualized using tumor biology, imaging, stage, patient preference, genetic risk and the need for chemotherapy or radiation before or after operation.

Consultation Pathway

  1. Review of mammogram, ultrasound, MRI if done and biopsy receptor status.
  2. Assessment of whether surgery or chemotherapy should come first.
  3. Discussion of breast conservation, mastectomy, reconstruction and scars.
  4. Clear explanation of lymph node surgery and expected recovery milestones.

Recovery & Life After Surgery

Recovery involves wound care, arm exercises, drain care if used, pathology review and coordination with medical oncology and radiation oncology. Long-term follow-up includes surveillance and survivorship support.
