Breast Care Services

Our one-stop breast clinic offers a streamlined and efficient approach to diagnosing and managing breast health concerns.

If you’ve experienced any of the following, we advise you come and see us:
Breast lumps - if you've discovered a lump in your breast, it's important to have it evaluated promptly. While many lumps are benign, it's crucial to rule out any serious conditions.

• Breast pain - persistent or unexplained breast pain can be concerning and deserves a thorough evaluation.
• Nipple discharge - any unusual discharge from the nipple, especially if it's bloody or occurs spontaneously, should be assessed.
• Skin changes - changes in the skin of the breast, such as dimpling, redness, or scaling, can be signs of underlying issues.
• Family history - If you have a family history of breast cancer, you may want to undergo regular screenings or genetic counselling.

At our clinic, we are equipped to investigate a wide range of breast conditions, including:

• Benign breast conditions - such as fibrocystic changes, cysts, fibroadenomas, and mastitis.
• Breast cancer - including invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, and other less common types.
• Other concerns - such as gynecomastia in men.

During your visit, you can expect:

• Comprehensive evaluation - our team will conduct a detailed clinical examination and review your medical history.
• Imaging and diagnostic tests - if needed, we will perform imaging tests such as mammography, ultrasound, or MRI. A biopsy may be done during the same visit if necessary.
• Consultation and discussion - once the necessary evaluations are completed, our specialists will discuss the findings with you. We prioritise clear and compassionate communication, ensuring you understand your diagnosis and the next steps.
• Immediate results and planning - whenever possible, we provide immediate results and discuss treatment options. If further testing is required, we will arrange follow-up appointments and guide you through the next steps.

The outcome of your visit will vary based on the findings of our investigations. Possible outcomes include:

• Reassurance and routine follow-up - many patients leave with the reassurance that their symptoms are benign and require no further action beyond regular monitoring.
• Additional testing - if further investigation is needed, we will coordinate any additional tests or procedures.
• Treatment planning - for those diagnosed with a condition that requires treatment, we will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan, whether it involves surgery, medication, or other therapies.
• Referral to specialists - if necessary, we will refer you to additional specialists within our network, such as medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, or plastic surgeons.

We aim to provide a thorough and efficient evaluation in a supportive and caring environment, making sure that you have the information and resources you need to make informed decisions about your health.

If surgical intervention is needed, our skilled breast surgeons are here to provide expert care. We offer a range of surgical options, including:

• Lumpectomy - breast-conserving surgery to remove cancerous tissue.
• Mastectomy - removal of one or both breasts, with options for immediate or delayed reconstruction.
• Therapeutic mammaplasty - breast-conserving surgery to remove cancer undertaken in a breast reduction style of surgery.
• Local flaps - breast conserving surgery using local flaps to remodel the breast.

Reconstructive surgery - rebuilding the breast(s) using implants or your own tissue, tailored to your preferences and medical needs. This is jointly performed with plastic surgical colleagues.

We prioritise your comfort and wellbeing, so that you are fully informed and supported throughout the surgical process.

Your journey doesn't end with treatment; we're here to support you through recovery and beyond. Our aftercare services include:

• Follow-up care - regular check-ups and monitoring to ensure your continued health and wellbeing.
• Support services - access to counselling, support groups, and educational resources to help you and your family navigate the emotional aspects of your diagnosis and treatment.
• Rehabilitation and wellness programs - customised physical therapy and wellness programs to aid in your recovery and promote long-term health.

We are committed to providing a caring and nurturing environment where you feel safe and supported. Your health and peace of mind is our top priority.

• Medical oncology - personalised chemotherapy and targeted therapy plans designed to effectively treat your specific type of breast cancer.
