Oncoplastic Surgery
Oncoplastic surgery is the combination of cancer removal and plastic surgery techniques to treat breast cancer effectively while achieving aesthetically pleasing breast reconstruction. At AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Center, Dr. Zameer Abbas Mir (FCPS, Plastic Surgery) offers expert oncoplastic surgery in Lahore, focusing on cancer control with natural, balanced breast shape and symmetry.
Our goal is simple: remove the tumor safely with wider margins while preserving or enhancing breast appearance to provide better oncologic outcomes and improved quality of life.
What Is Oncoplastic Surgery?
Oncoplastic surgery integrates oncologic lumpectomy (partial mastectomy) with plastic surgery techniques that reshape the breast during the same operation. This approach permits more extensive tumor excision without compromising cancer control while reducing deformities common in traditional breast-conserving surgery. Breast conservation rates improve, and mastectomy may be avoided for many patients.
Oncoplastic Surgery Options We Offer
Volume Displacement Techniques
Utilize rearrangement of remaining breast tissue to fill the defect and maintain shape. Common in medium to large breasts with good tissue laxity.
Volume Replacement Techniques
Use local or distant tissue flaps to replace excised tissue in smaller or less pliable breasts. Flaps may be pedicled or free microvascular.
Contralateral Symmetry Procedures
Adjustments to the opposite breast through reduction, lift, or augmentation may be performed for symmetry and patient satisfaction.
The Oncoplastic Surgery Procedure
Our process ensures comfort, safety, and precision at every step:
Consultation: You’ll meet Dr. Zameer Abbas to discuss cancer stage, breast size, tumor location, and goals for cancer control and appearance. A personalized surgical plan balancing oncologic and aesthetic priorities is developed.
Preparation: Preoperative imaging and medical clearance are obtained; nipple-sparing or skin-sparing feasibility is assessed.
Surgery: Wide excision of cancer followed by immediate reshaping or replacement of breast tissue to restore contour and volume. The contralateral breast may be addressed simultaneously or staged.
Recovery: You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, pain management, and guidance on scar care and activity. Early mobilization protocols support healing.
Most patients observe natural breast form immediately, with symmetry and scar maturation improving over months.
Recovery & Aftercare
Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common but manageable with medications.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks.
Follow wound care and scar management protocols as advised.
Attend regular follow-ups to monitor healing and oncologic status.
