Major advancements have been made in the surgical treatment of breast cancer over the last decade, providing many patients with an improved prognosis for recovery with far fewer long-term cosmetic impacts than earlier surgeries. Patients today can take advantage of a variety of breast-sparing procedures as well as advanced breast reconstruction following their initial surgery. Depending on the type and stage of a patient’s cancer, recommended treatments may range from lumpectomy – surgical removal of the tumor along with a margin of surrounding tissue – to bilateral skin-sparing mastectomy, where cancerous tissue is removed via a small incision to leave an “envelope” of skin that can be filled with an implant or the patient’s own tissue. Nipple and areola-sparing mastectomy is another recently available breast-conserving procedure. Our breast surgeons have unsurpassed experience in these and more traditional forms of breast cancer surgery, with outstanding patient outcomes to show for it.
