Our expert team of breast surgeons in Redding are specially trained in surgical removal of benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumors of the breast and can help you find the right treatment plan for you. 

Types of surgery for breast cancer:

Lumpectomy 

• Typically, a lumpectomy is more appropriate if you have an early-stage breast cancer, and the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body. Some of your lymph nodes under your arm may also be removed for further testing.

Oncoplastic breast surgery

• Oncoplastic breast surgery combines the traditional methods of breast cancer surgery listed above while utilizing some specialized techniques to improve the cosmetic outcome of the surgery. This helps maintain a more natural look and feel of the breast, as well as reduce the amount of scarring. 

Mastectomy

• Mastectomy removes the tumor along with the entire breast. It is more commonly recommended if the tumor is larger (over 5 to 7 centimeters) or if you have multiple tumors in your breast. When both breasts are removed, it is called a bilateral or double mastectomy. We offer several types of mastectomies in Redding including nipple-sparing mastectomy, skin-sparing mastectomy, total mastectomy and modified radical mastectomy. Following a mastectomy, you may consider reconstructive surgery to re-build the breast.
