Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, making both breasts look as similar as possible is an important goal in oncoplastic surgery. Surgeons often plan procedures for both the affected and healthy breast, such as a lift, reduction, or augmentation, to create a natural and balanced appearance.

While radiation therapy can cause mild changes, advanced planning minimizes the impact. Radiation can sometimes lead to mild changes in breast shape, firmness, or size due to tissue tightening (fibrosis).3 However, modern oncoplastic surgery is specifically designed to counteract these effects. Advanced surgical planning involves anticipating the potential effects of radiation and using techniques (like tissue rearrangement and volume displacement) to ensure the reconstructed breast is better positioned to handle post-radiation changes, thereby preserving the long-term cosmetic result.

Most patients recover in stages and can get back to light activities fairly soon. Initial Recovery (2–3 weeks): Most patients are able to resume light, non-strenuous daily activities like walking, driving, and desk work within this timeframe. Full recovery usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks, including the time needed to return to exercise and heavier activities. Your surgeon will give you a recovery plan that fits your specific surgery.

Post-operative pain is managed exceptionally well with modern techniques. While any surgery involves some discomfort, the pain is typically mild to moderate and highly controllable. We utilize modern anesthesia protocols and a combination of prescription and over-the-counter medications to ensure your comfort. Our focus is on pain management, ensuring that your recovery experience is as smooth and pain-free as possible.

ERAS Therapists play a critical role in speeding up recovery after surgery. They: Implement early mobility and rehabilitation programs to reduce complications and hospital stay. Work alongside nutritionists, pain management experts, and physiotherapists to enhance post-operative healing. Help optimize surgical outcomes by focusing on prehabilitation and early recovery strategies.

A penile prosthesis (implant) is a surgical solution for erectile dysfunction (ED) in men who do not respond to medications or injections. It consists of inflatable cylinders inside the penis, allowing for on-demand erections with a concealed pump. Over 90-95% of men report satisfaction, making it an excellent solution for post-prostatectomy or post-cancer ED.

ATOMS (Adjustable Transobturator Male System) and AUS (Artificial Urinary Sphincter) are effective surgical solutions for men experiencing urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. ATOMS provides adjustable support under the urethra, allowing for fine-tuned continence control. AUS acts as a mechanical sphincter, giving patients full control over urination.

Robotic Adrenalectomy – A minimally invasive procedure for removing benign and malignant adrenal tumors with greater precision and shorter recovery times.

Penile cancer is rare but aggressive. Treatment includes: Laser therapy or Mohs surgery for early-stage tumors to preserve penile function. Partial or Total Penectomy for advanced cases. Robotic Pelvic Lymphadenectomy for metastatic disease, reducing complications compared to open surgery.
