Private Service, General Surgery, Breast
Description
Dr Vanessa Blair is an oncoplastic breast surgeon and, when surgery is required, will work with you to reach a carefully considered decision about the best reconstructive options tailored to your particular circumstances.
Breast disorders include:
- fibrocystic disease – benign changes in the breast tissue causes it to become dense or “lumpy”
- fibroadenomas – benign tumours of the breast tissue
- cysts – fluid-filled sacs
- breast infections
- breast cancer.
Many of these conditions do not require surgery and we will work with other specialists to find out the best treatment plan for you.
