Case 1: This patient with an F cup was diagnosed with a 4cm left breast cancer. This was removed through a lumpectomy. At the same time, her breast was reduced to a D cup to maintain shape using an oncoplastic technique (therapeutic mammoplasty). The right breast was also reduced to maintain symmetry. The after photograph is taken six months after radiotherapy.
Case 2: This 42-year-old had a screen-detected breast cancer in the right upper outer breast. This was removed (wire guided) and both breasts were reduced using oncoplastic surgery (bilateral therapeutic mammoplasty) to a C cup.
Case 3: A 65-year-old patient with a breast cancer in the lower part of her left breast. She would have needed a mastectomy but using oncoplastic surgery (therapeutic mammoplasty), her left breast was saved and reduced to a C cup. She decided the have the right breast reduced at a later date.
Case 4: A 45-year-old woman with a 2 cm breast cancer in the outer half of a B cup right breast. The breast cancer was removed by a wide local excision (lumpectomy). The lost volume was then replaced by a LICAP flap.
Case 5: This 54-year-old patient had a 2.2cm breast cancer in the outer part of her left breast. The cancer was fully removed and the volume replaced with a TDAP flap.
Case 6: A 49-year-old with a breast cancer in the lateral part of her right breast. Once the cancer was removed, the volume defect was replaced using a LICAP flap in such a way that it is not obvious that she had undergone breast cancer surgery.
Case 7: This 55-year-old has had her left breast cancer removed and the volume replaced using an ICAP flap. The post-op photo was taken one week after surgery.
Case 8: This patient had previously undergone surgery to remove a cancer breast lump. Although she had been successfully treated for her cancer, she was left with a hollow ‘dent’ in her breast which she found socially embarrassing. The defect was corrected with lipomodelling (one episode).
Case 9: Scarring as a marked indentation in the breast as a result of previous breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy. This was corrected with two rounds of lipomodelling.
