Hi, my sister will undergo lumpectomy. What kind of breast surgery is it? How is she going to look like after surgery?

Hi, lumpectomy is breast-conserving surgery, as only part of the breast is removed. Other names like: biopsy, lumpectomy, partial mastectomy, re-excision, quadrantectomy, wedge resection mean the same. How much of the breast is removed can vary greatly, and future appearance of breast depends on it. Quadrantectomy, for example, means that a quarter of your breast will be removed. Usually, surgeons try to take away as little as possible. Your surgeon should provide you all necessary answers.
