Breast Conservation Surgery: Preserve Your Natural Beauty with Expert Care
Introduction
For women diagnosed with breast cancer, treatment decisions are life-changing. One of the most empowering options available today is breast conservation surgery—a procedure that removes cancer while preserving as much of the natural breast as possible.
At Pi Health Cancer Hospital, this advanced approach is performed by one of the country’s top oncologic surgeons, Dr. Raghu Rami Reddy. His precision, compassion, and commitment to patient-centered care make him a top choice for both breast conservation surgery and breast conversion surgery, ensuring that patients receive the best medical and cosmetic outcomes.
What Is Breast Conservation Surgery?
Breast conservation surgery (BCS), also known as lumpectomy or breast-sparing surgery, involves removing the cancerous tumor and a margin of surrounding tissue—while keeping the rest of the breast intact. It is typically followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.
BCS offers a safe and effective alternative to mastectomy for many women, without compromising survival rates. When performed by skilled specialists, it maintains the breast’s shape and appearance with minimal scarring.
How Breast Conservation Relates to Breast Conversion Surgery
While breast conservation surgery focuses on removing cancer while preserving the breast, breast conversion surgery comes into play when previous treatments—like mastectomy or unsuccessful lumpectomies—need to be corrected or refined. Both types of surgeries aim for a balance between medical effectiveness and cosmetic satisfaction.
Patients who’ve had breast conservation but are unhappy with the appearance may later opt for breast conversion surgery to enhance symmetry, restore volume, or correct scarring.
By offering both procedures, Dr. Raghu Rami Reddy provides holistic care from initial treatment to long-term restoration.
Benefits of Breast Conservation Surgery
- Preserves the natural breast shape and size
- Effective cancer treatment with high survival rates
- Faster recovery than full mastectomy
- Improved body image and emotional well-being
- Compatible with radiation therapy
Not all patients qualify for BCS, but with careful planning and early detection, it’s an ideal option for many women.

- Evaluation & Imaging – Advanced imaging like MRI or 3D mammography helps define the tumor’s location.
- Surgical Planning – The tumor and surrounding tissue are mapped for precise removal with minimal cosmetic impact.
- Lumpectomy Surgery – Under general anesthesia, the tumor is excised through a small incision.
- Postoperative Care – Most patients go home the same day and recover within 1–2 weeks.
