Breast Remodelling

Breast remodelling (oncoplastic surgery) is the fusion of breast cancer surgery with cosmetic surgery (London breast augmentation, breast reduction, or mastopexy). Harley Street Breast Clinic achieves this by removing the tumor before rebuilding the breast to improve aesthetics and minimise scarring.

What are the benefits?

• Minimal surgery and anaesthesia
• You retain your breasts after surgery
• May help with emotional upset over mastectomy or lumpectomy
• Breast reduction surgery can ease health issues for women with larger breasts

Am I a suitable candidate?

Your appointment with consultant breast surgeon in London, Mr. D.B. Ghosh, will determine your suitability for breast surgery. Breast remodelling is typically performed on breasts with an adequate ratio of healthy tissue to cancer.

Mr. D.B. Ghosh will talk you through your options and answer any questions you may have. Your breasts will also be examined, and your health and medical history assessed, in order to create your personalised treatment plan.

Which remodelling procedure is right for me?

Your breast surgery on Harley Street will depend on the size and location of the tumor, and how much breast is remaining after cancer surgery. In many cases, the healthy breast also requires treatment to match the other breast. Mr. Ghosh will help determine the right treatment for you.

What does the procedure involve?

At your consultation at our breast clinic on Harley Street, you will be informed of what exactly your procedure will involve.

Your breast surgeon on Harley Street will perform cosmetic treatment right after your breast cancer surgery. The remaining healthy breast breast tissue will be shaped, and the nipple and areola repositioned, to create a natural-looking breast.

Where will the incisions be made?

The incisions depend on the procedure performed. You will likely have an incision around the nipple and areola, as well as a vertical incision from the nipple to the natural fold of the breast. Scarring will gradually fade over time.

What happens after surgery?

Following your procedure, you will be taken to a recovery room where your breathing, pulse, and blood pressure will be monitored. You will then be admitted to a hospital room to for roughly three days. You can expect to feel some pain, stiffness, and numbness in your underarms. You will be given medication and antibiotics to relieve discomfort.

How long does recovery take?

Full recovery usually takes six weeks on average. You should be able to return to work within three to four weeks. Your care team will give you comprehensive instructions on aftercare. You will also be provided with an emergency 24/7 phone number for your local nursing team.
