Oncoplastic Breast Reconstruction
Case 5
Description
This is a 50 year old female from Westport, Connecticut, who had a right breast biopsy which showed ADH, or atypical ductal hyperplasia. Her breast surgeon needed to perform a full excision in order to ensure that there was no cancer present. Given the relatively small size of her breasts, taking out such an area could have led to an indentation in her breast. Therefore, at the time of surgery, she underwent oncoplastic reconstruction of the lumpectomy defect. Her own breast tissue on the right side was rotated to fill in the defect from the lumpectomy. She has a small scar that has faded nicely, but most importantly, she has no indentation or tethering of her nipple.
Oncoplastic Breast Reconstruction
Case 6
Description
This is a 40 year old female from Fairfield, Connecticut, who was diagnosed with left breast DCIS. She was told at another hospital that she had to have a mastectomy since her breast was too small and she would have a poor cosmetic outcome with just a lumpectomy. However, she wanted to save her breast and didn’t want a mastectomy. Her left breast was slightly larger and lower before surgery, and I told her we could perform a lumpectomy and oncoplastic reconstruction of the lumpectomy defect by rotating her own breast tissue to fill the area in. This is what was performed and her left breast was also lifted slightly. This gave her a great match between her two breasts. Due to the fact that she had such wide margins and favorable DCIS characteristics, she even avoided radiation therapy. She only has a scar around her nipple/areola and is very pleased with the outcome.

Case 7
Description
This is a 53 year old female from Bridgeport, Connecticut, who was diagnosed with left breast cancer behind her left nipple. She desired breast conservation and also wanted to save her nipple. She underwent a left partial mastectomy and oncoplastic reconstruction to fill in the defect and also lift and reduce her breast. She had a free nipple graft in order to save her nipple and areola and avoid the need for future nipple reconstruction and tattooing. She also underwent a right breast reduction and lift to make her breasts symmetric. She is cancer-free and very pleased with the outcome.
