Overview

Oncoplastic breast surgery is a modern approach to breast cancer treatment that combines cancer surgery with plastic surgery principles. The primary goal is to completely remove the cancerous tissue while simultaneously preserving the natural shape and aesthetic appearance of the breast. This innovative method can be used in conjunction with both breast-conserving surgery and mastectomy, offering patients the benefit of effective cancer treatment and improved cosmetic outcomes.
