Unless the physician has to remove a significant amount of tissue–if a lumpectomy is performed, for example–there is relatively little chance that the appearance of the breast will be altered. If needed, fat grafting (the removal of fat from one part of the body for transfer to the breast) can be performed to resolve any uneven areas or divots resulting from the removal of tissue.
Our breast cancer surgeons are sensitive to patients' cosmetic concerns and perform the least invasive lumpectomy possible.
