Oncoplastic Breast Surgery is an advanced method for treating breast cancer that combines cancer surgery (mastectomy or lumpectomy) with cosmetic surgery techniques. The goal is cancer treatment while preserving the natural appearance and symmetry of the breasts.

Preservation of breast aesthetics: Maintaining natural breast appearance: By utilizing cosmetic surgery techniques, the natural shape and appearance of the breast are preserved. For correcting sagging breasts, breast lift or for volume enhancement, breast implants can be performed alongside this surgery.
Reduced risk of cancer recurrence: Compared to traditional methods, oncoplastic surgery allows for the removal of wider margins of tissue around the tumor. This reduces the risk of remaining cancer cells. According to studies conducted at Heidelberg University, this method reduces cancer recurrence by 10-15%. At Dr. Karina Ghadimi Beauty Center, precision in margin removal guarantees effective treatment outcomes.
Shorter recovery period: Oncoplastic surgery combines treatment and reconstruction in one session, reducing the need for multiple operations. Patients typically stay in the hospital for only one to two days and can return to daily activities after one week.
Improved quality of life: Preserving the natural breast appearance can help reduce anxiety and depression after surgery. Research published in the Journal of Surgical Oncology shows that this method reduces post-surgery depression by up to 30%.

Oncoplastic surgery is not suitable for all patients, and candidate selection depends on various factors. The following individuals are typically excellent candidates for this method:
In cases where the tumor is large or cancer is in advanced stages, mastectomy may be necessary. However, even in these cases, oncoplastic techniques can be used for breast reconstruction. To ensure suitability, an initial consultation with review of mammogram and biopsy images is conducted.
Level 1 oncoplastic surgery is used for small tumors (less than 20% of breast volume) and involves simpler interventions in breast tissue. In this method, the tumor is removed along with a margin of healthy surrounding tissue (lumpectomy) to ensure all cancer cells are eliminated. After tumor removal, the surrounding breast tissues are carefully reconstructed to preserve the natural breast shape and prevent indentation or irregularity. The use of internal sutures in this technique is common to fill the space created by tumor removal and improve breast appearance. This method is typically suitable for patients with small tumor volume who do not require extensive structural changes to the breast.
Level 2 oncoplastic surgery is for larger tumors (20 to 50% of breast volume) or breasts with more complex shapes and utilizes more advanced plastic surgery techniques. Common methods at this level include reduction mammoplasty, where part of the breast tissue is removed along with the tumor and the breast is then reconstructed, which may include breast reduction or lift. Additionally, in some cases, augmentation mammoplasty using implants or fat transfer is used to restore breast volume. Local flap techniques, such as transferring tissue from surrounding areas (like the armpit or back), and breast lift methods (mastopexy) are also employed to improve shape and symmetry. These methods are suitable for patients who need removal of a larger volume of tissue but still wish to preserve the breast.
In cases where complete breast removal (mastectomy) is necessary, oncoplastic techniques are used for immediate breast reconstruction to create a more natural appearance. Reconstruction with implants involves using silicone or saline prostheses to restore breast shape and volume. Another method is autologous flap reconstruction, where tissues from other body areas, such as TRAM or DIEP flaps from the abdomen or Latissimus Dorsi flap from the back, are used to reconstruct the breast. In skin- or nipple-sparing mastectomy, reconstruction achieves a more natural appearance. These methods are suitable for patients where breast preservation is not possible due to tumor size or spread but who desire reconstruction.
Consultation with doctor and surgical team: Before oncoplastic surgery, discuss the type of surgery, reconstructive methods, results, and complications with the surgeon. Tests such as blood work, mammogram, or MRI may be necessary. Consultation with an anesthesiologist to assess anesthesia conditions is essential.
Physical preparation: Control underlying conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Stop certain medications (like aspirin) as instructed by the doctor. Quit smoking and alcohol 4-6 weeks prior. Maintain a proper diet rich in protein and vitamins.
Psychological preparation: Surgery may have psychological effects. Consult a psychologist or support groups. Discuss cosmetic outcomes with the surgeon to have realistic expectations.
Required documents and information: Bring identification card and test results.
Close incisions with fine sutures to reduce scarring and improve appearance.
Wound and dressing care: Keep the surgical site clean and dry and change dressings as instructed by the doctor. Immediately inform the doctor of redness, swelling, or abnormal discharge.
Pain control: Take prescribed medications regularly and avoid over-the-counter drugs like aspirin without consultation. Contact the doctor if experiencing severe pain.
Adequate rest: Rest and avoid heavy activities or vigorous arm movements. Sleep on your back to reduce pressure on the surgical area.
Use of medical bra: Use a medical bra as directed by the doctor. This helps reduce swelling and improve outcomes.
Proper nutrition: Consume protein-rich foods and vitamins and drink sufficient water. Avoid smoking and alcohol to accelerate recovery.
Medical follow-ups: Visit the doctor to monitor recovery and remove sutures. Immediately report any abnormal changes.
Surgical site infection: Infection in the surgical area may present with symptoms like redness, swelling, or pus discharge. Wound hygiene and prescribed antibiotics can reduce the risk.
Bleeding or hematoma: Bleeding or blood accumulation (hematoma) at the surgical site may occur and require drainage or medical intervention. Symptoms include sudden swelling or severe pain.
Breast asymmetry: Breasts may become asymmetrical in shape or size, sometimes requiring corrective surgery.
Delayed wound healing: Slow wound healing may occur due to smoking, diabetes, or poor nutrition. Following a healthy diet and doctor’s instructions aids recovery.
Seroma (fluid accumulation): Fluid buildup under the skin (seroma) may cause swelling and sometimes requires needle drainage. This complication usually resolves with proper care.
Anesthesia-related complications: Allergic reactions or respiratory complications from general anesthesia may occur in rare cases. Thorough pre-surgery evaluation minimizes this risk.
Depending on the patient’s condition, chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be recommended to prevent cancer recurrence.
Skin and breast tissue care to improve cosmetic outcomes.
