Breast Oncoplasty Procedures in Broadway

With the rise in breast cancer cases among women, new techniques and procedures continue to emerge, offering improved treatment outcomes and quality of life for breast cancer patients. The Breast Oncoplasty Procedure is one such advanced surgical procedure that helps breast cancer patients live life with full confidence. Removal of full breast or some part of breast tissue during breast cancer treatment is emotionally draining for women. Our team of highly skilled oncoplastic surgeons and counsellors at Manipal Hospitals in Broadway understands this psychology and provides effective cosmetic treatment in Breast Oncoplasty Procedures.

Breast Oncoplasty Procedures are surgical techniques that combine breast cancer tumour removal, often done in Lumpectomy or partial Mastectomy with plastic surgery approaches to achieve optimal outcomes in breast cancer treatment. Breast Oncoplasty Procedures in Kolkata ensure the removal of all cancerous tissue and surrounding tissue from the breast while preserving the natural appearance and shape of the breast. These oncoplastic techniques may involve partial Mastectomy with immediate Breast Reconstruction, volume displacement procedures, or symmetrisation of the contralateral breast. With advancements in oncoplastic surgery, patients can benefit from our personalised treatment plans tailored to their individual needs and preferences, improving their quality of life.
 

FAQ's

There are different types of oncoplastic techniques. Depending on the extent of the cancer, the size of your breasts, your overall health, and your desired outcome, our surgeon will choose the surgery that is best for you. These are:

  • Local Advancement Flap: In this technique, the tissue that remains after a tumour is removed and used to reconstruct the original shape of the breast after the Lumpectomy procedure.

  • Bilateral Breast Reduction: This technique is performed if the tumour is big and is present in one breast, which reduces its size and alters its shape. Thus, the other breast is also modified to maintain symmetry.

  • Bilateral Breast Lift (Mastopexy): It is a minimal form of bilateral breast reduction in which the only tissue removed is reconstructed, such as nipple relocation, without reducing the original shape of the breasts. 

  • Skin-Sparing Mastectomy: Where Mastectomy is done in advanced-stage breast cancer, skin-sparing mastectomy helps preserve the natural look of the breast. 

There are a variety of oncoplastic techniques, so it is suitable for women of various breast types undergoing breast cancer surgery. You are a candidate for the Oncoplastic Lumpectomy procedure if you have:

  • Smaller breasts whose shape will get altered even with small tumour removal

  • Breast cancer location is at a visible space

  • Larger breasts where a large amount of tissue needs to be removed

  • Having chemotherapy before the surgery reduces the size of the tumour for the Lumpectomy procedure

  • Existing breast issues, such as excessive sagging, lack of symmetry, or being very large, can be corrected with cancer removal.

This procedure is not for you if you have multiple tumours throughout the breast, if cancer is widespread, or if you have inflammatory breast cancer.
 

The Breast Oncoplastic Procedure involves the treatment of cancer and reconstruction in one operation and offers the following benefits:

  • Reduces the psychological impact of breast cancer surgery

  • Single recovery period

  • Symmetrical breasts appearance

  • More tissue can be removed surrounding the tumour for better treatment outcomes

  • Improved cosmetic outcomes

  • Preservation of breast shape

Generally, it is a safe procedure, providing better treatment and cosmetic outcomes. Every surgical procedure carries a certain risk, but it can be minimised with the expertise of the surgeons. Our oncology surgeons carefully review your medical records and health condition before proceeding further with the surgery. Your condition will be extensively discussed with other similar department specialists for an accurate assessment. Make sure that you disclose all the details. Every precaution will be taken to minimise the complications associated with this surgery. This surgery will be done under anaesthesia, thus, you won't feel any pain. For after-surgery discomfort, oral pain medications will be prescribed. 
 

The risks associated with this surgery are:

Infection at the site of surgery

  • Bleeding

  • Itching

  • Discomfort and pain

  • Blood clots

  • Changes in breast sensation

  • Implant complications (if used)

  • May need revision surgery

  • Bruising or scarring at the site of surgery

  • Asymmetrical appearance of breasts

For better healing and enhanced recovery after the surgery, it's important to rest and limit movement, along with following all the post-operative instructions. The recovery time will vary for individuals. It will typically take 4-6 weeks; the rest depends on the complexity of the procedure and your overall health. Some people may get back to work in 3-5 weeks. 
 

The results of breast oncoplasty are generally long-lasting, but factors such as ageing, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy may affect the appearance of the breasts over time.
 

Reconstructive surgery typically involves rebuilding the breast after a Mastectomy or breast removal surgery, either immediately or years later. It aims to restore breast shape after complete removal. Oncoplastic surgery, on the other hand, focuses on reconstructing the breast after Lumpectomy, preserving breast tissue. Oncoplastic surgery combines cancer removal with immediate reconstruction, including procedures like breast reduction, lift, rearrangement, fat grafting, and implants. These procedures are commonly performed at the time of Lumpectomy, before radiation treatment, to achieve optimal outcomes.
