After breast cancer treatment, some women experience lymphedema — a chronic swelling of the arm caused by disruption of the lymphatic system after lymph node removal.

This can lead to heaviness, tightness, pain, reduced hand and arm function, and a significant impact on daily life — sometimes appearing months or even years after cancer treatment.

Professor Dr. Ashraf Abolfotooh Khalil,
Professor and Consultant of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at Cairo University, applies advanced microsurgical and nanosurgical techniques in selected cases to restore lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, relieve pain, and improve function and quality of life.

The images shown represent a medical before-and-after case of lymphedema improvement following surgical treatment, with the focus on function, relief, and patient wellbeing.

Every case requires careful evaluation.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with lymphedema after breast cancer treatment, feel free to ask your questions here or contact us privately via direct message.
