Mammoplasty
This special type of partial breast reconstruction utilizes techniques adapted from cosmetic breast reduction. Referred to as breast volume displacement procedures, these are intended for breast cancer patients who need to remove larger sections of breast tissue, but have sufficient breast size for reshaping and contouring.
Perforator flap breast reconstruction
This unique form of partial breast reconstruction uses vascularized skin and fat flaps from the chest wall to fill in the space left by the removal of larger breast tumors. Known as breast volume replacement procedures, they are intended for patients who have had significant amounts of breast tissue removed but lack enough remaining tissue for proper reshaping and contouring.
Fat grafting
Discover our expertise in correcting contour or volume loss defects, whether associated with breast cancer, for symmetrizing or enhancing breast reconstruction. We utilize the patient’s own fat, harvested through liposuction, processed, and injected as a natural filler. Contact us to learn more about how we can help you achieve your desired results.
Intra-Operative Radiotherapy
Discover a unique procedure exclusively available at St John of God Hospital Subiaco, tailored for small, low-risk cancers.
