An oncoplastic surgeon is one who is a specialized surgeon with expertise in cancer surgery (oncology) and plastic and reconstructive surgery. An oncoplastic surgeon can ensure safe removal of breast cancer while reshaping or reconstructing the breast to maintain natural appearance.
What is the difference between oncoplastic and standard breast cancer surgery?
Unlike standard surgery, which may involve removing the tumor and not considering aesthetics, oncoplastic surgery considers the oncology side of treatment as well as the cosmetic side to really address both needs. This means that the patient has the benefit of dealing with cancer and improved symmetry of the breast.
Oncoplastic surgeons treat breast cancer, benign breast conditions, high-risk conditions, and conditions requiring risk-reducing surgery. They also help with reconstructive surgery after mastectomy or reconstruction, in addition to addressing cosmetic concerns like asymmetry or contour deformities.
Yes, in most cases, reconstruction can take place during tumor removal or mastectomy. This process acts to mitigate any psychological distress, decrease possible complications, and to achieve evidence-based surgeries for better cosmetic outcomes.
Techniques, may include, therapeutic mammoplasty (reshaping the breast after tumor removal), flap reconstruction (involving tissue from the patient’s body), implant-based reconstruction, fat grafting or symmetrisation surgery for the opposite breast.
Yes. A lot of oncoplastic surgeons have some level of training in cosmetic surgery for breasts, such as augmentation, reduction, mastopexy (lift), and nipple correction procedures that are often performed in conjunction with injury, cancer surgery, or breast reconstruction.
