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.
