Lumpectomy : Reconstruction after conservative treatment
Conservative treatment may leave an asymmetry or even a deformity of the treated breast. The Paris Breast Center is a pioneer and remains an international reference for repairs after conservative treatment.

All about lumpectomy
Such sequelae are less frequent since the use of plastic surgery techniques to reshape the breast when the tumor is removed. This simultaneous care of tumor removal and its aesthetic repercussions is called oncoplastic surgery or oncoplasty.
Sequelae after lumpectomy include:
- Asymmetry of the breasts: The treated breast is generally smaller and less droopy (less “ptosis”) than the other;
- Deformities of the breast resulting from a lumpectomy (retraction, lack of volume)
The treatment consists of:
- Correcting the treated breast using fillings (fat transfers), re-scarring, re-centering of the areola;
- Modify the other breast to improve symmetry (volume reduction, correction of ptosis, modification of the shape).
