Breast-Conserving Surgery and Oncoplastic Approaches

Breast cancer surgery no longer means only removing the tumor from the body. At the point modern medicine has reached today, “Oncoplastic Surgery,” which combines the discipline of oncological surgery with the aesthetic principles of plastic surgery, has come to the forefront. This method also makes a significant contribution to the psychological recovery process of our patients by preserving their body integrity after treatment.

As Prof. Dr. Atakan Sezer, with the oncoplastic techniques we apply in our clinic in Edirne, we remove cancerous tissue within safe margins while reconstructing the breast form with the refinements of surgical artistry.

Our goal in breast cancer surgery is not only to save lives, but also to ensure that our patients feel healthy and complete when they look in the mirror.

Oncoplastic breast surgery offers our patients the following critical advantages during the treatment process:

• Simultaneous Reconstruction: Reconstructing the aesthetic form of the breast within the same operation at the moment the cancerous tissue is removed.
• Natural Appearance and Symmetry: Advanced tissue rearrangement techniques that preserve the natural volume of the breast or provide symmetry with the opposite breast.
• Concealing Scars: Planning surgical incisions in less visible areas, such as breast folds, in accordance with aesthetic criteria.
• Minimal Tissue Loss: Minimizing tissue loss through breast-conserving oncoplastic approaches instead of removing the entire breast, known as mastectomy.
