๐Ÿ’— For some patients, breast cancer removal and reconstruction can happen in one procedure.

In an oncoplastic reduction, a breast surgeon removes the cancer while a plastic surgeon reshapes and reconstructs the breast at the same time. This approach ensures complete cancer removal while maintaining the breastโ€™s natural appearance and symmetry.

By combining surgical expertise, patients like Carolyn experience fewer operations, smoother recovery, and healing thatโ€™s both physical and emotional.
