Breast reconstruction is not just for after a mastectomy! A partial mastectomy (or lumpectomy) defect can also be reconstructed using oncoplastic techniques. This patient had a right breast cancer that required a partial mastectomy. At the time of her partial mastectomy, she also had an oncoplastic reduction on the right side and a similar procedure on the left side for symmetry. These procedures prevented a deformity in the area of the lumpectomy while also ensuring symmetry between the two sides. Breast cancer and breast reconstruction require a team effort and I am happy that I can be a part of this team!
