Breast cancer research and treatment advances regularly. We’re always looking for new approaches to treat and improve treatment. Oncoplastic surgery is a newer approach that helps combine cancer treatment with improved cosmetic results. Mr Kelvin Chong is an oncoplastic breast surgeon, pioneering in the field. He works with many patients to treat breast cancer and achieve their desired cosmetic results. Let’s look more closely at oncoplastic surgery and Mr Chong’s experience.
What is Oncoplastic Surgery?
Oncoplastic surgery combines the removal of a breast cancer tumour and plastic surgery techniques simultaneously. The aim is to help enhance breast conservation while treating the disease. Breast cancer surgery may be a lumpectomy or a partial mastectomy. The plastic surgery techniques used are the most advanced in reconstructive surgery.
Oncoplastic surgeons are specially trained in both areas of expertise. They ensure their patients have the confidence that the cancer removal will not unduly impact the physical appearance of the breast. They also discuss patients’ specific hopes for their breasts after surgery. Many patients worry about asymmetry or distorted breasts. However, with oncoplastic approaches to treatment, the breast’s appearance remains a priority, as well as removing the cancerous tumour.
Oncoplastic Surgery
Oncoplastic surgery involves planning the lumpectomy and reconstructive surgery together. Sometimes it requires working on both breasts to help achieve symmetry. The goal is to help reshape and keep the natural shape of the breasts. It also minimises the visual impact of the cancer treatment. Many people with breast cancer also suffer considerably from their mental health and self-image, so working to improve this through the surgical process can be very important.
