Lumpectomy Reconstruction

What is a Lumpectomy Reconstruction?

A lumpectomy is often the first step in a woman’s breast cancer journey, removing the tumor while preserving as much of the breast as possible. However, while the goal is to conserve the breast, the procedure can still leave visible indentations, contour irregularities, or volume loss that impact both appearance and self-esteem.

That’s where lumpectomy reconstruction comes in.

Our specialist surgeons specialize in restoring the breast’s natural shape and symmetry after lumpectomy. Using advanced oncoplastic techniques and natural tissue reconstruction when appropriate, our surgeons work closely with your oncology team to ensure both your cancer treatment and cosmetic outcomes are prioritized.

Understanding Your Options

Lumpectomy reconstruction typically falls into two categories: oncoplastic breast surgery and symmetry procedures after lumpectomy. Each option is tailored to your unique anatomy, treatment plan, and personal goals.

Oncoplastic Lumpectomy Surgery

Oncoplastic breast surgery combines cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques in a single operation. By reshaping or repositioning breast tissue during the lumpectomy itself, PRMA’s surgeons help preserve your breast’s natural contour and reduce the need for future revisions. This approach not only optimizes cosmetic outcomes—it can also allow for larger tumors to be safely removed without compromising appearance.

Symmetry After Lumpectomy

A symmetry procedure is an option for patients who notice unevenness between the breasts after their lumpectomy or radiation. PRMA offers several breast procedures, including breast reduction and lift of the unaffected breast, to restore symmetry and rebuild confidence. This option helps create a balanced look that feels more like you again.

Fat Grafting

Fat grafting is a minimally invasive technique that uses your body’s own fat, typically harvested from the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, to restore volume and contour after a lumpectomy. For many women, it’s a gentle, natural solution to correct breast asymmetry or indentations left after cancer removal. Fat grafting can also be combined with other symmetry procedures for the best cosmetic results.

Completion Mastectomy

A completion mastectomy refers to the removal of the remaining breast tissue after an initial lumpectomy. This option is typically considered when a patient experiences persistent breast changes that cannot be improved adequately by the above options, is diagnosed with a cancer recurrence, or learns of a high genetic risk after their initial surgery.
