Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer Surgery

Surgery is the first step in treating most breast cancers. Miss Dua uses oncoplastic techniques to remove the cancer while preserving as much natural breast shape as possible.

What is it?

Breast cancer surgery removes the cancerous tissue from the breast. The two main approaches are breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) and mastectomy (removal of the whole breast).

Why might someone consider it?

You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and surgery has been recommended
You want a surgeon who specialises exclusively in breast surgery
You want oncoplastic techniques that consider cosmetic outcomes
You are seeking a second opinion on your surgical options

What happens during your consultation?

Miss Dua will explain your diagnosis, review your imaging, and discuss which surgical approach is most suitable. She will answer all your questions and ensure you feel informed.

Treatment or surgical process

The type of surgery depends on the size, location and type of cancer. Miss Dua will explain whether lumpectomy, mastectomy or an oncoplastic approach is recommended.

Recovery

Most patients stay in hospital for one night. Full recovery typically takes a few weeks, depending on the procedure.

Results

Your pathology results will be discussed with you and your oncology team to plan any further treatment.

Scarring

Incisions are planned using oncoplastic principles to minimise visible scarring.

Risks and considerations

Bleeding, infection or wound healing problems
Seroma (fluid collection) after surgery
Changes in breast sensation
Further treatment may be needed after surgery

Miss Dua's approach
