Mastectomy Surgery in Perth – Personalised Breast Cancer Care
A mastectomy involves the removal of all breast tissue and may be the most appropriate option for certain types of breast cancer. Dr Ran Li offers compassionate, evidence-based care for women requiring mastectomy, including options for reconstruction and post-operative support.
Types of Mastectomy We Offer:
- Simple / Total Mastectomy – removal of the entire breast without lymph nodes
- Skin-Sparing Mastectomy – preserves the outer skin for reconstruction
- Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy – keeps the nipple intact for selected patients
- Risk-Reduction Mastectomy – for BRCA mutation carriers or high-risk patients
When Is Mastectomy Recommended?
- Large or multifocal tumours
- Recurrence after prior breast-conserving surgery
- High-risk gene mutations (e.g., BRCA1/BRCA2)
- Patient preference
Breast Reconstruction Options
Mr Li offers immediate or delayed breast reconstruction options after mastectomy. Most patients would be suitable for an immediate reconstruction (same time as mastectomy surgery).
Your Recovery Journey
Post-surgery care is fully supported by Dr Ran Li and his team, including wound care, arm mobility exercises, and emotional support resources.
