In many parts of the U.S., plastic surgeons are not readily available, and even in areas where they are available very often a plastic surgery consultation does not occur until after the initial breast surgery. This session will discuss oncoplastic techniques in regards to excisional biopsy and lumpectomy. It will review basic techniques of incisional placement and tissue transfer based on tumor location. It will also address the other tumor and patient characteristics to take into account during surgical planning for optimal cosmesis.
