Oncoplastic Breast Surgery
Oncoplastic surgery merges the principles of oncologic surgery, in which cancerous tissue is removed, with those of plastic surgery which reconstructs an area following surgery.
In oncoplastic breast surgery, plastic surgery techniques such as breast reduction, breast lift, use of tissue from the lower chest or side of the chest, are used at the time of lumpectomy to restore a natural appearance to the breast shape.
