Lumpectomy with breast reduction

• Oncoplastic breast surgery is a procedure that combines tumor removal with reconstruction.

• After our surgeons perform a lumpectomy, our plastic surgeons reconstruct the breast to restore its natural appearance.

• Oncoplastic provides you with a symmetrical look in a single surgery, even if you had a larger lump removed.

Mastectomy

• Mastectomy removes your breast tissue, skin and nipple.

• Our surgeons use mastectomy to treat cancer and to reduce breast cancer risk in high-risk patients.

• We offer mastectomy with or without reconstruction, depending on your preferences.

Nipple-sparing and skin-sparing mastectomy

• Nipple-sparing mastectomy combines mastectomy and reconstruction in one procedure.

• Our breast surgeons remove your breast tissue while leaving your breast skin and nipple intact.

• Cleveland Clinic in Florida is a Center of Excellence for nipple-sparing mastectomy.

• Another option is a skin-sparing mastectomy, which removes your nipple and areola but leaves most of your breast skin intact.

• This technique allows us to perform an immediate reconstruction and avoids scars on your breast.

• After these procedures, our plastic surgeons reconstruct your breast.

• We create surgical incisions on the bra line, making scars much less visible.

• Our anesthesiologists use a safe, long-lasting local anesthetic that allows you to go home the same day with your rebuilt breast.

Breast reconstruction

• We provide a full range of options for breast reconstruction.

• Our breast surgeons partner with our board-certified plastic surgeons for the best aesthetic outcome.

You can choose :

• Immediate breast reconstruction : Combined mastectomy and reconstruction in one procedure, also called direct-to-implant reconstruction.

Delayed breast reconstruction : 

• Breast reconstruction months or years after a lumpectomy or mastectomy.

• You choose the timeframe that’s right for you.

When you’re ready, we explain your options for reconstruction, which include :

• DIEP flap : Also called a flap procedure, our surgeons take tissue from another part of your body to reconstruct your breast.

• Our plastic surgeons pioneered this advanced technique.

• Usually, we use fat from your abdomen to create the flap.

• When a DIEP flap isn’t an option, we can often use tissue from your back or body.

Silicone or saline breast implants :

• Synthetic implants are a safe and popular option after mastectomy.

• We explain the pros and cons of each type of implant and what you can expect.
