Oncoplastic breast preservation surgery combines breast cancer treatment with plastic surgery with the aim of achieving good aesthetic results. The procedure is known to remove cancer effectively while avoiding the need for full breast reconstruction. 

Level 1 Oncoplastic Surgery: Level 1 surgery is preferred for small tumours (tumours less than 20% of the breast volume). This type of surgery involves simple procedures like local flap rotation, nipple recentralization, Grissoti flap, and more. The aim is to breast shape with minimal cosmetic changes.

Level 2 Oncoplastic Surgery: Level 2 surgery is recommended for larger tumors (tumours that are 20-50% of the breast volume). This type of surgery involves advanced methods like volume replacement, symmetrisation, therapeutic mammoplasty, and more. The goal here is to remove larger tumours while maintaining a natural appearance. 

Level 1 Oncoplastic Surgery: Typically costs around ₹1,50,000 to ₹2,50,000

Level 2 Oncoplastic Surgery: Costs approximately ₹2,50,000 to ₹4,00,000

Note: The above costs are approximate and can vary based on factors such as the severity of the allergy, the specific treatment plan, the healthcare facility, and geographic location.

Poor Cosmetic Outcomes: Standard treatment methods may leave dents, distortion, especially if a larger tumour is removed. 

Need for Corrective Surgeries: Poor cosmetic outcomes might require additional procedures to reconstruct the breast shape.

Emotional & Psychological Impact: Poor cosmetic outcomes may cause anxiety, depression, and body image issues. 

Missed Opportunity for One-Stage Treatment: Oncoplastic surgery allows for cancer removal and reshaping in the same operation; not opting for oncoplastic surgery may lead to multiple surgeries.
