Lumpectomy Surgery in Perth – Expert Breast-Conserving Cancer Care
A lumpectomy, also known as breast-conserving surgery or a wide local excision, is a common procedure for early-stage breast cancer. The goal is to remove the tumour while preserving the natural shape of your breast.
Through Mr Ran Li’s breast surgery practice at Perth Breast Cancer Institute, we offer personalised treatment plans that focus on both effective cancer control and preserving your quality of life.
What Is a Lumpectomy?
A lumpectomy involves removing the cancerous lump and a small margin of healthy tissue around it. This procedure is often followed by radiation therapy to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Who Is Lumpectomy Suitable For?
Lumpectomy may be recommended for:
- Small to moderate-size breast cancers
- Patients who prefer to retain their breast
- Those with a favourable tumour-to-breast size ratio
- Early-stage cancers detected through screening
What to Expect from Surgery
Mr Ran Li performs lumpectomies using advanced techniques to achieve optimal cosmetic and oncologic outcomes. The procedure is usually a day surgery or overnight stay under general anaesthetic, with minimal downtime and quick recovery.
Recovery After Lumpectomy
Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 weeks. Post-operative care and follow-up imaging are part of your personalised recovery plan.
