Oncoplastic Breast Surgery: The Combination of Health and Aesthetics in Cancer Treatment

The main goal in breast cancer treatment is to remove the tumor with safe margins and bring the disease under control. However, today, surgical success is not limited only to the treatment of cancer. Oncoplastic breast surgery combines cancer surgery with the principles of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, aiming to achieve successful results in terms of both health and appearance.

With this method, while the tumor is removed from the breast tissue, the shape and symmetry of the breast are preserved as much as possible. In this way, patients receive effective cancer treatment while also maintaining their quality of life and self-confidence after surgery.

As Prof. Dr. Atakan Sezer, we aim to provide our patients with the most appropriate oncological and aesthetic outcomes by using modern oncoplastic techniques in breast cancer surgery at our clinic in Edirne.

“Success in breast cancer surgery is not only treating the disease, but also preserving the patient’s quality of life and body integrity.”

The main approaches we apply in oncoplastic breast surgery are as follows:

Breast-Conserving Surgery: In suitable patients, we preserve most of the breast by removing only the tumor-containing tissue.

Aesthetic Shaping Techniques: After the tumor is removed, we reshape the breast tissue to achieve a more natural appearance.

Symmetry-Preserving Approaches: When necessary, we make plans to preserve the aesthetic harmony of both breasts.

Multidisciplinary Treatment Planning: We create personalized treatment processes by working together with specialists in radiology, pathology, medical oncology, and radiation oncology.

Receiving a breast cancer diagnosis can be a challenging process. However, thanks to today’s advanced surgical techniques, it is possible to achieve both effective cancer treatment and aesthetically satisfying results. With our academic approach and surgical experience, we offer modern breast surgery practices to our patients in Edirne and the Balkans region.
