What It Is

Oncoplastic breast surgery is an advanced approach that combines cancer surgery with breast reconstruction or reshaping, planned together as one treatment.

The primary goal is always the complete and safe removal of cancer, but with equal attention to how the breast looks and feels after surgery.

Depending on the situation, this may involve:

  • Reshaping the remaining breast tissue after cancer removal.
  • Reducing or Lifting the breast (Therapeutic Mammoplasty) to remove cancer and improve shape.
  • Reconstruction using implants or the patient’s own tissue (flaps).

This is not cosmetic surgery. It is a functional, restorative part of cancer care.

⚠️ When Should You Consider This?

Early consultation is important. Planning reconstruction before cancer surgery often gives better, more predictable results. Consider this if:

You are worried about breast shape after surgery
A large portion of tissue needs to be removed
You are advised Mastectomy and want reconstruction
You want to know if breast conservation is possible
You are unhappy with a past cosmetic outcome
You desire symmetry between both breasts

What Happens Next?

The process begins with a detailed discussion, not surgery. We evaluate the tumor location, your breast size, the need for radiation, and your personal expectations.

Based on this, a tailored plan is created which may include:

  • Oncoplastic Reshaping Rearranging tissue immediately after removing the lump to prevent dents or deformity.
  • Therapeutic Mammoplasty Combining breast reduction/lift techniques with cancer removal for larger breasts.
  • Reconstruction (Immediate or Delayed) Rebuilding the breast shape using implants or natural tissue flaps after a mastectomy.

After surgery, recovery, symmetry, and comfort are monitored closely. Any further refinement is planned only if needed.

Balanced & Thoughtful Care

Care from a fellowship-trained oncoplastic surgeon like Dr. Ashwini Jasani (Modi) ensures that treatment decisions are balanced, thoughtful, and focused on both medical safety and emotional recovery.
