A lumpectomy aims to remove smaller breast cancers, which Mr Seni Mylvaganam, a top oncoplastic breast surgeon, often completes alongside an oncoplastic breast procedure to ensure symmetry is maintained for patients. In a lumpectomy, the tumour and some of the surrounding tissue are removed in order to preserve the breast or conserve the breast. The amount of tissue removed can vary from patient to patient, and it is best to consult with a surgeon to discuss your options and the procedure beforehand.
