Oncoplastic Breast Surgery- The Gold Standard in Breast Cancer Care

The principles of Oncoplastic Breast Surgery form the new gold standard in the surgical management of benign and malignant breast disease and combine a wide range of general and plastic surgical techniques within the surgical repertoire of a single surgeon. The treatment of your breast cancer will always be the number one priority and any oncoplastic or reconstructive surgery should complement this and may potentially improve your outcome both from a cancer and aesthetic perspective. In some cases it may be possible to complete breast cancer surgery with an improved breast appearance (for example with therapeutic mammoplasty procedures).




As an oncoplastic breast surgeon Mr Hawkins is able to integrate and combine skills traditionally held separately by general and plastic surgeons.  The oncoplastic approach ensures the highest standards of breast cancer outcomes whilst also looking to maintain and restore the natural appearance and beauty of the female breast. This helps to remove the constant physical reminder of your breast cancer diagnosis that traditional breast surgery so often produced in the past. As a modern oncoplastic breast surgeon, Mr. Hawkins has a range of general and plastic surgical techniques at his disposal including traditional therapeutic procedures, reconstructive and cosmetic breast surgical procedures.



In addition an Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon will have expertise in Breast Cancer prevention, Breast Screening, Breast Cancer Genetics and Diagnostics and Oncology treatments (Chemotherapy/Radiotherapy etc.) in association with a team of multi-disciplinary healthcare professionals. The multi-disciplinary team includes radiologist, pathologists, oncologists, breast care nurse specialists and a wide variety of support staff.




Mr. Hawkins will be able to guide you through the complexities of the management of benign and malignant breast disease in order to achieve your individual goals which often vary considerably from patient to patient. All patients have individual concerns and priorities and in the context of a breast cancer diagnosis complex issues need to be addressed quickly and efficiently. Mr Hawkins always aims to empower patients to take control of their diagnosis and enables them to make informed decisions regarding their treatment based upon clear and accurate information. A new breast cancer diagnosis is always a stressful time but Mr Hawkins is committed to guiding you through the complexities of the state of the art in breast cancer treatment.
