Breast Lift for Oncoplastic Reconstruction after Lumpectomy in The Woodlands, TX

Oncoplastic surgery refers to the practice of combining breast cancer tumor removal (lumpectomy or partial mastectomy) with plastic surgery techniques to immediately address the resulting tissue loss.  This approach can greatly improve the cosmetic outcome after breast cancer surgical treatment.  Tissue is rearranged within the breast to avoid potential deformity and breast asymmetry.  This is often achieved in the context of a breast lift (mastopexy) or breast reduction.  Dr. Albright is a strong proponent of this approach as it can offer cancer removal and complete reconstruction in one surgery, expediting the physical and emotional recovery from a breast cancer diagnosis.  Unfortunately, many women are not aware of these options.  You may ask your breast surgeon for a plastic surgery referral to discuss options for oncoplastic reconstruction prior to lumpectomy surgery.
