Oncoplastic techniques combine cancer removal with the best possible cosmetic outcome. Dr Trinh brings fellowship training in reconstructive microsurgery to every procedure, offering surgical options that prioritise both your health and your appearance.
Oncoplastic care
Dr Trinh’s oncoplastic training means cancer removal and breast reconstruction are considered together from the start. This integrated approach often achieves better cosmetic outcomes than traditional surgery followed by separate reconstruction.
Options
Each breast cancer case is unique, and so is the right treatment for you. Dr Trinh will discuss all suitable options, weighing cancer control, cosmetic outcomes, and your preferences to find the best path forward.
Removes the tumour and a margin of surrounding tissue while preserving the breast. Suitable for early-stage cancers with favourable tumour-to-breast ratio.
Complete removal of breast tissue with immediate or delayed reconstruction. Options include skin-sparing and nipple-sparing techniques for suitable candidates.
Combines cancer removal with breast reduction for patients with larger breasts. Achieves clear margins while improving breast shape and relieving symptoms of macromastia.

Find answers to questions about your surgical journey and recovery.
Most patients return to light activities within two weeks. Full recovery takes four to six weeks depending on your procedure. Dr Trinh provides specific guidance based on your surgery.
Dr Trinh uses techniques to minimise visible scarring, placing incisions in natural creases where possible. Scars fade significantly over time, and scar management options can be discussed during your consultation.
Reconstruction can often occur immediately during your mastectomy. For some patients, delayed reconstruction after completing other treatments may be more appropriate. Dr Trinh will discuss timing options with you.
You’ll have access to breast care nurses, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists at Nepean Cancer Care Centre. Beyond surgery, a multidisciplinary team supports your ongoing recovery and wellbeing.
Dr Trinh reviews your imaging, pathology, and personal goals to recommend suitable options. Together, you’ll discuss the benefits and considerations of each approach to reach a decision aligned with your values.
