What is Oncoplastic Reconstruction? (Lumpectomy With Oncoplastic Reconstruction)
Oncoplastic reconstruction combines the principles of cosmetic surgery techniques employed during breast reductions and mastopexies (breast lifts) with breast surgical oncology. When a lumpectomy is required and a contour deformity is expected, the remaining tissue of the breast can be used to simultaneously camouflage the defect and sculpt the breast to provide a more youthful appearance. The scars are equivalent to cosmetic reductions/cosmetic mastopexy. The opposite breast will also be modified to create symmetry. This is a good option for patients who are candidates for breast conservation therapy, i.e., lumpectomy, and are also candidates for a breast reduction or mastopexy.
