Abstract

Immediate breast reconstruction or oncoplastic technique has been widely performed as an integral step in breast cancer surgery [1, 2]. The contralateral breast can be operated for symmetrical procedure or an exploration step for tissue diagnosis [3]. Besides the general consideration and management of scar tissue, breast cancer surgery-related scar also particularly depends on location of scar (breast or donor site of autologous tissue), timing of scar (immediate or delay), adjuvant therapy given to individual cancer patient (e.g. radiation and chemotherapy) and cancer prognosis. In this chapter, we would like to discuss the specific characteristic and problem of each scar. We mainly categorized scar with regard to its location of primary incision.
