Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery in Izmir, Turkey: Health & Aesthetics Combined

Oncoplastic Breast-Conserving Surgery with Reconstruction is an advanced surgical approach that bridges the gap between oncological safety and plastic surgery. At Lamedi Health, we specialize in this dual technique, allowing for the removal of cancerous tumors while simultaneously reshaping the breast to preserve its natural beauty and symmetry.

What is Oncoplastic Breast Surgery?

Traditional lumpectomy can sometimes leave visible deformities. In contrast, oncoplastic techniques in Izmir allow our surgeons to remove a larger volume of tissue (to ensure clear margins) while using reconstructive methods to restore the breast's contour immediately.

Our multidisciplinary teams in Turkey focus on:

• Advanced Tumor Removal: Targeted excision with safe surgical margins.

• Volume Displacement & Reshaping: Moving remaining breast tissue to fill the area where the tumor was removed.

• Symmetry Restoration: Adjusting the breast shape, and if necessary, performing a lift or reduction on the opposite breast for a balanced look.

• Natural Outcomes: Maintaining the aesthetic appearance of the breast without compromising cancer treatment.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited medical facilities in Turkey, involving a collaboration between breast and plastic surgery specialists.

1. Precision Excision: The tumor is removed and sent to pathology for immediate confirmation of clear margins.

2. Reconstructive Reshaping: Plastic surgery techniques are applied to reorganize the breast tissue and restore a natural silhouette.

3. Lymph Node Evaluation: A sentinel lymph node biopsy is typically performed to ensure the cancer has not spread.

4. Symmetry Balancing: In many cases, the opposite breast is adjusted during the same session to achieve perfect harmony between both sides.

Recovery Process & Healing Timeline in Turkey

At Lamedi Health, we provide a personalized recovery plan to ensure you feel supported throughout your stay in Izmir.

• First Days: Most patients can return to their luxury accommodation the same day or after a short stay. Mild swelling is managed with medication.

• Weeks 1–2: Swelling decreases, and you can gradually return to light daily activities. We review your pathology results and healing progress during follow-up visits.

• Month 1: The breast shape becomes more defined. If radiation therapy is part of your treatment plan, it typically begins during this phase.

• Long-Term Healing: Over several months, the breast tissue settles into its final shape, and scars gradually fade, leaving a natural-looking result.

What Results Can Patients Expect?

Oncoplastic surgery offers a modern alternative to traditional mastectomy or lumpectomy. Patients can expect:

• Effective Oncological Control: Complete removal of the tumor with safe margins.

• Superior Cosmetic Outcomes: Minimal risk of visible deformities after surgery.
