After breast-conserving surgery and radiation therapy, many women notice changes in the shape of their treated breast. A small dent, an indentation, or a subtle asymmetry can develop over time as radiation effects cause tissue contraction and firmness. While these changes are usually mild, they can affect confidence and comfort. Fat grafting — also known as lipofilling — offers a remarkably effective and minimally invasive solution for correcting these small breast defects us

When breast cancer is in the inner (medial) part of the breast, a lumpectomy can leave a clear dent that is hard to repair. For tumours in the outer breast, techniques like the LICAP flap work very well. But inner-breast dents have long had fewer reliable options. The AICAP flap — short for Anterior Intercostal Artery Perforator flap — changes that. It is a technique made specifically to rebuild the inner breast after a lumpectomy. What Is the AICAP Flap? The AICAP flap is an

When a breast tumour is in the upper or outer (side) part of the breast, a lumpectomy can leave a large gap that changes the breast’s shape. For women with smaller breasts, or larger tumours in these areas, simply rearranging the tissue may not give enough volume to restore a natural look. This is where the LICAP flap — the Lateral Intercostal Artery Perforator flap — offers an effective solution that combines removing the cancer with reshaping the breast in one operation (an

Breast-conserving surgery, often called a lumpectomy, lets you keep your natural breast while still treating the cancer well. Unlike a mastectomy, which removes the whole breast, a lumpectomy removes only the tumour and a small edge of healthy tissue around it. This keeps most of your breast. Combined with radiation, it treats the cancer effectively. Still, even though a lumpectomy keeps most of the breast, it can sometimes change the breast’s shape or make the two sides look
