When a woman is facing breast cancer surgery, there are complex issues and concerns. The obvious concerns of the cancer itself are complicated by the fears and anxiety of how surgery will create physical changes in a woman’s body.
Fortunately, the Stony Point Surgery Center has a program which treats the “whole woman” with breast cancer. Their ability to utilize Oncoplastic Surgery for women undergoing breast cancer surgery helps minimize the physical changes after surgery and relieves some of the anxiety and fear that accompanies breast cancer. Women who have successfully undergone Oncoplastic Surgery during breast cancer surgery typically go through the surgery with less trauma because they know that they will emerge healthier and with less physical change than is normally experienced.
If you or someone you know is facing breast cancer surgery, the doctors are offering an opportunity for the community to learn more about this procedure. Reconstruction can be done at the time of surgery, or later after surgery is completed. It is also a procedure that can be used during a lumpectomy. Oncoplastic Surgery helps women start to “move on” quicker as they leave the operating room. Although the surgery is not for all women, it is an option for many and it is effective with the multi-disciplinary approach taken by the Stony Point Surgery Center.
