Oncoplastic surgery combines cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques to preserve or restore breast appearance. This includes local tissue rearrangement, reduction mammoplasty techniques, and immediate reconstruction.

Are genomic tests like Oncotype DX available?

Yes. Equivalent genomic profiling tests are available and provide recurrence risk scores to guide chemotherapy decisions. Results available within 7-10 days.

How soon can I return to normal activities after surgery?

Most patients can resume light activities within 2 weeks. Full recovery from reconstruction may take 4-6 weeks. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions and remote support.
