Breast surgery includes procedures to change the size, shape, or appearance of the breasts for medical or cosmetic reasons.

  • Lumpectomy (Breast-conserving cancer surgery)
  • Mastectomy (Complete breast removal)
  • Breast Reconstruction (Implant or flap-based)
  • Cosmetic Breast Surgery:
     – Breast Reduction
     – Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
     – Breast Augmentation

Lumpectomy is a breast-conserving surgery where only the cancerous lump and a small margin of surrounding tissue are removed—preserving most of the breast shape and skin.

  1. Breast Preservation – Keeps most of the breast intact.
  2. Shorter Recovery – Less invasive than full mastectomy.
  3. Effective for Early Cancer – Often combined with radiation for good outcomes.
  1. Radiation Needed – Usually followed by several weeks of radiotherapy.
  2. Not Suitable for Large Tumors – Or if cancer is in multiple areas.
  3. Slight Risk of Reoperation – If cancer margins aren’t clear.

Mastectomy is a surgical procedure that involves complete removal of one or both breasts, typically done to treat or prevent breast cancer.

  1. Reduces Recurrence Risk – Very low chance of cancer returning in the same breast.
  2. May Avoid Radiation – In some cases, radiation isn’t needed afterward.
  3. Effective for Larger or Aggressive Tumors – Better choice for extensive cancers or multiple tumors.
  1. Complete Breast Loss – Can affect body image and emotional wellbeing.
  2. Longer Recovery – Compared to lumpectomy.
  3. Reconstruction May Be Needed – Requires additional surgery for cosmetic restoration.

Breast reconstruction is surgery to rebuild the shape of the breast after a mastectomy or injury. It uses either breast implants (silicone/saline) or tissue flaps from your body (e.g., abdomen, back).

  1. Restores Natural Shape – Helps improve body image and confidence.
  2. Can Be Done Immediately or Later – Flexible timing after mastectomy.
  3. Long-Term Results – Especially with flap-based reconstruction.
  1. Multiple Surgeries May Be Needed – For adjustments or symmetry.
  2. Longer Recovery (Flap method) – Due to donor site healing.
  3. Not Always Covered by Insurance – Especially cosmetic aspects.
