Oncoplastic surgery is a fairly new and popular technique, allowing for breast cancer care to comine with cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of the breasts. Understandably many women feel uncomfortable and unhappy with the look and feel of their breasts after cancer surgery and oncolplastic techniques look to minimise this risk. Mr Kelvin Chong provides oncoplastic surgery in London and allows patients to maintain their self-esteem and remain positive about their appearance despite their breast cancer battle.
Aesthetics and breast cancer care
Treatment for breast cancer is much more advanced than it was. Many patients are living much longer so the aesthetic appearance of their breasts has much more importance and significance in their lives. Visiting an oncoplastic surgeon allows you to benefit from the latest breast cancer surgical techniques and plastic surgery to maintain, enhance or improve the look of the breasts.
Advantages of oncoplastic breast surgery
Oncoplastic breast surgery has many positives and is a great choice for many women. The main benefits include:
- The surgeon pays attention to and respects the shape and appearance of the breast when considering the lumpectomy
- The natural breast tissue is kept as much as possible, the breasts may even retain more feeling. Sometimes breast surgery for cancer removal can leave breasts numb and lacking in sensation.
- The surgeon is often able to remove more tissue in general, to make space for the implant. This allows for cleaner margins for removing all cancerous cells.
- The plastic surgery allows you to discuss your optimal breast shape and size, giving you the chance to remove other issues or enhance particular features.#
