Hidden Scar Breast Cancer Surgery
Hidden Scar breast cancer surgery allows surgeons to remove cancerous tissue from the breast through a single incision made in a hidden area. This technique preserves the natural shape of the breast while reducing visible scarring.
Patients who have this surgery experience optimal clinical and cosmetic results. They also are at no higher risk of their breast cancer returning than patients who undergo other surgical techniques. Hidden Scar surgery offers women a surgical option that effectively treats breast cancer while optimizing their results.

HIDDEN SCAR LUMPECTOMY
A lumpectomy is a procedure for treating breast cancer that removes the tumor and a small portion of healthy tissue while saving most of the breast. While considered a non-invasive surgery, lumpectomy may still leave some permanent scarring.

Hidden Scar Mastectomy
A mastectomy is a procedure for treating breast cancer that removes all the breast tissue, with three distinct variations called total mastectomy, skin sparing mastectomy, and nipple sparing mastectomy.
