There is a growing trend toward shrinking breast tumors as much as possible to allow for treatment via lumpectomy rather than a full mastectomy, allowing women to preserve as much natural breast tissue as possible. However, larger tumors can leave indentations or other contour irregularities after removal, which can be improved with the help of reconstruction techniques. The emphasis at our practice is on oncoplastic surgery, the process of removing cancer while simultaneously reshaping the breast for a better final result. In some cases, the impact of a lumpectomy may require a small implant to correct it.
