In a lumpectomy procedure, surgeons take away early-stage cancerous breast tissue. After getting lumpectomy, patients often have a bulging or a denting portion in their breasts around the operation area. However, in some cases, the position of the operated breast may alter too.

Each patient goes through a different lumpectomy treatment. That’s why there is no single treatment plan applying to everyone. Instead, we have many different options. We pick a plan according to the extent and place of lumpectomy you went through. We also get your opinion to understand your goals and the cosmetic concerns you have.

In this type of breast reconstruction, you get your reconstruction while getting a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Some people think that getting reconstruction immediately helps them recover from the psychological effects of the operation faster.

With this method, you will have fewer operations in total, which means you will have to undergo fewer anaesthesia administrations. Also, this kind of reconstruction might mean getting less impact around the breast or breasts getting operated. 

In contrast, when you get an immediate reconstruction, you might not get as much time to make a decision. Furthermore, if you have to take more radiotherapy after the operation, it might affect the reconstruction negatively. Similarly, in case you need extra care after the operation, chemotherapy treatments in progress might need a delay.

While some deduce that they will do better with a reconstruction right away after the mastectomy, some think differently. Some women choose to get done with their cancer treatment altogether before getting breast reconstruction.

This way, the patient gets much more time to consider their options, consult different specialists and make up their mind. Also, since their breast cancer treatment is over, there is no chance of the treatment interfering with the reconstruction process.

On the flip side, you will spend some time without breast tissue though this has a somewhat functional solution. There are breast prosthetics that you can wear under clothing. Also, since you will be getting two operations this way, you may get a slightly bigger operation cicatrix.

It is possible to undergo a breast reconstruction even if you had muscle removed alongside breast tissue (radical mastectomy). Same applies for radiotherapy patients too, but it requires extra precautions. And large size breasts do not hinder us from operating as well.
