Professional Specialties

  • Minimally Invasive and Aesthetic Surgery for Benign Breast Tumors: Specialized in minimally invasive treatments for benign breast tumors, having completed nearly 4,000 cases of minimally invasive breast mass resections, including complex large tumors (3-5 cm). For cases not suitable for minimally invasive surgery, scarless open surgery through hidden incisions, such as the axilla, can be performed.
  • Breast-Conserving Surgery and Repair for Breast Cancer: Richly experienced in breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer, specializing in hidden incisions. Combined with autologous fat grafting techniques, she repairs postoperative defects to help patients maintain natural breast shape while curing the disease.
  • Comprehensive Prevention and Treatment of Lymphedema: Focuses on the prevention and treatment of postoperative lymphedema. She utilizes lymph node dissection techniques that preserve all branches of the axillary vein and nerves to reduce the risk of edema. She also performs LVA (Lymphatic-Venous Anastomosis) surgery and liposuction to effectively improve postoperative lymphedema symptoms.
  • Immediate Breast Reconstruction (Stage I): Specialized in nipple-sparing subcutaneous total mastectomy through hidden axillary incisions, with simultaneous breast reconstruction using implants (silicone) or autologous tissue (DIEP flap, latissimus dorsi flap), helping patients restore breast appearance immediately after tumor eradication.
  • Secondary Breast Reconstruction and Repair: Provides secondary breast reconstruction for patients after modified radical mastectomy, including inframammary fold reconstruction, nipple reconstruction, implant placement, or autologous tissue transplantation. She also performs fine adjustments for breast symmetry in cases where Stage I reconstruction results were unsatisfactory.
