Decisions about your surgery are based on the cancer biology, stage of growth, medical issues, and your wishes. Your treatment plan is made collaboratively by our breast surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. In order to provide the highest quality care as efficiently as possible, your entire Ironwood team is located in one location at each of the Ironwood Women’s Centers.
We offer several options for oncoplastic and breast reconstructive surgery to help rebuild the shape of the breast after surgery, reduce scarring and preserve as much of the breast tissue as possible. Our breast surgeons collaborate with plastic surgeons for reconstructive decisions for mastectomies and lumpectomies requiring bilateral symmetry procedures, reductions, and augmentations. Decisions about breast reconstruction are planned depending on the need for adjuvant treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation.
Your breast surgeon will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan. Options of chemotherapy or radiation may be discussed.
