Oncoplastic breast surgery is a new field in breast surgery that aims to use plastic surgical techniques to ensure appropriate cancer excision while improving cosmetic outcomes. The aim is excellent conservation of breast tissue while preventing cosmetic deformities. Pre-surgical planning is essential to ensure the right balance between the oncological and cosmetic needs.
Typical surgery focuses on excising the tumour with good margins and then closing the wound, which sometimes can lead to an obvious scar or a dent. Oncoplastic surgery aims to achieve the good margins but in a way that leads to excellent cosmetic outcomes. Another goal of oncoplastic surgery is to avoid mastectomy if possible and aim towards breast conservation with excellent results.
