Breast surgery refers to any surgical operation done on the breasts for any reason, whether for diagnosis or treatment of neoplastic or non-neoplastic conditions. The specialists who investigate and operate on breast pathologies are breast surgeons.
A huge part of their work is centered on cancer, which requires surgical removal and subsequent reconstruction of the breast. Breast surgeons, together with plastic surgeons, are also involved with augmentation of the breasts and breast reduction, usually performed for cosmetic reasons.
