Therapeutic Mammaplasty
Therapeutic mammaplasty is a modern technique of removing your breast cancer whilst reducing the size and droop/sag of your breast. The overall result is a smaller, more youthful appearing breast shape, with the benefit of having the breast cancer removed.
Most women choose to reduce the size of the other breast once their cancer treatment is completed but this is a personal choice.
