Expert surgical care for breast cancer, with treatment carefully planned around you and your individual needs.
Your options
Specialist, oncoplastic-trained care that treats the cancer while protecting how you look and feel.
This removes the cancer along with a margin of healthy tissue while preserving as much of the breast as possible. It is often combined with oncoplastic techniques to keep a natural shape, and is usually followed by radiotherapy.
When breast-conserving surgery is not suitable, a mastectomy removes all of the breast tissue. It can be planned with immediate or delayed reconstruction, and every step is discussed with you so you feel prepared and supported throughout.
Oncoplastic surgery brings cancer removal and plastic surgery techniques together in one operation, treating the cancer while reshaping the breast for the most natural result possible. It often allows more tissue to be removed while preserving a good shape.
To check whether cancer has spread, the first few lymph nodes under the arm may be tested with a sentinel lymph node biopsy. If nodes are affected, further axillary surgery may be recommended, always with care taken to reduce side effects.
Breast cancer can affect men too. Surgical treatment removes the cancer with the same specialist care and attention, alongside clear guidance and support at every stage.
You don't have to face this alone. A prompt, supportive consultation helps you understand your options clearly and calmly.

Before you book
Breast cancer surgery follows a diagnosis, but it starts with noticing a change and getting it checked promptly.
Signs to look for:
After surgery, aftercare may include wound care, pain management, activity guidance and follow-up appointments to monitor healing and discuss any further treatment.
If you notice any of these changes, prompt assessment is important.

A lumpectomy, also called breast-conserving surgery or wide local excision, removes the cancer along with a small margin of healthy tissue while keeping as much of the breast as possible. It is often followed by radiotherapy and, where helpful, oncoplastic techniques to preserve a natural shape.
Many patients go home the same day and return to light activity within one to two weeks, with more strenuous activity resuming over several weeks. You will be given clear aftercare guidance and follow-up appointments to support your healing.
No, breast tissue that is removed does not grow back. The remaining tissue may be reshaped during surgery to keep a natural appearance, and any changes in size or shape are discussed with you beforehand.
Sometimes. To check whether cancer has spread, the first one or two lymph nodes under the arm may be tested with a sentinel lymph node biopsy at the same time. Further lymph node surgery is performed only if necessary.
A mastectomy removes all of the breast tissue and is recommended when breast-conserving surgery is not suitable. It can be planned with immediate or delayed reconstruction, and every step is explained so you feel prepared and supported.
There is no single stage that always requires a mastectomy. The decision depends on the size, type and position of the cancer, whether it affects more than one area, and your own preferences. Your surgeon will explain which options are safe and appropriate for you.
The operation usually takes a couple of hours, though it can be longer if reconstruction is carried out at the same time. Most patients stay in hospital for a short time and recover over several weeks, with clear aftercare and ongoing follow-up throughout.
A mastectomy removes as much breast tissue as safely possible, though a small amount can sometimes remain. This is why follow-up care and monitoring continue after surgery, and your team will explain what that means for you.
Breast cancer can affect men too, and surgery is a common part of treatment, often removing the affected tissue and testing nearby lymph nodes. Care follows the same specialist-coordinated approach as for women, with clear guidance and support at every stage.
