Breast Oncoplastics
Striving for excellent oncological result with maximal aesthetic outcome.
Breast cancer is a journey that patients will unlikely forget, the experience can often have a significant impact on both the physical and mental wellbeing of patients. In my practice I believe that being able to offer the latest in reconstructive techniques to my patients is important in assisting them to restore their sense of wellbeing and femininity.

What is Oncoplastics?
Oncoplastics is a specialised surgical technique which allows trained breast surgeons to address tissue defects that affect the overall aesthetics and feeling of the breasts. A significant amount of planning goes into this type of surgical approach and it is tailored to the individual patient, removing the breast cancer in such a way that minimises the impact on physical look of the breast.
What are the benefits for patients who are suitable for oncoplastic breast surgery?
- Combining these techniques allows appropriate patients to have one general aesthetic for the surgery compared to previously having to undergo a second operation several months later to try and modify the breast.
- It assists in minimising the long-term effects on a patient’s mental wellbeing by aiming to maintain a patient’s femininity
