Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about DR. POOVAMMACA

What types of breast problems do you treat?

I treat all breast-related conditions, including breast cancer, breast lumps, nipple problems, and changes in breast shape or size. I also perform breast-conserving surgeries, lumpectomies, scarless lump removal, mastectomies, and reconstruction.

What is oncoplastic breast surgery?

Oncoplastic breast surgery combines cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques so the breast looks as natural as possible after treatment. It offers better cosmetic results, hidden scars, and helps maintain breast shape and symmetry.
