When a woman receives a diagnosis of breast cancer — a sentence no one is ever prepared to face — her first thought is survival.
Her second thought is loss.
Dr. Khiêm understands what many women endure:
The loss of a part of their body
The loss of natural feminine contours
The loss of confidence in front of family and loved ones
And sometimes, even more
It is understandable that many Vietnamese women choose to travel abroad for surgical treatment. Everyone seeks the highest level of safety, and that decision is fully respected.
However, today it is important to recognize that in Vietnam, breast cancer surgery can be performed in accordance with rigorous oncological standards while also ensuring advanced aesthetic reconstruction.
Under Decision No. 61/QĐ-BYT issued by the Ministry of Health of Vietnam, EMCAS Aesthetic Surgery Hospital is officially authorized to perform:
Skin-Sparing Mastectomy with Immediate Reconstruction (Technical Code: 12.274).
This technique is classified within the oncology specialty and permits oncologic resection and reconstructive surgery to be performed during the same operative session, in full compliance with approved medical practice regulations.
This surgical approach enables the medical team to accomplish two essential goals simultaneously:
Complete removal of malignant breast tissue in strict adherence to established oncological surgical principles, prioritizing patient safety and disease control.
Reconstruction of the breast during the same procedure, with careful attention to:
Bilateral symmetry
Natural contour and projection
Proportional harmony with the patient’s overall body structure
With 27 years of experience in post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, Dr. Khiêm emphasizes that reconstruction is not simply about restoring breast volume.
Women deserve to return to daily life and professional responsibilities with a body that feels harmonious, soft, and naturally proportioned — restoring not only physical form but also confidence and identity.
“At EMCAS, the goal is not solely treatment.
It is the recreation of beauty within safe oncological boundaries.”
The clinical focus extends beyond the tumor as an isolated pathology.
Each case is evaluated comprehensively, including:
Overall body structure
Bilateral balance
Skin and soft tissue quality
Emotional and psychological recovery after surgery
“Breast cancer may remove part of the breast.
It must not remove femininity.”
For patients considering overseas treatment, it is important to understand that breast cancer surgery in Vietnam can meet:
Rigorous oncological standards
High-level aesthetic benchmarks
“After overcoming cancer, survival is essential
But living fully and confidently is equally important”
1. What is skin-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction?
Skin-sparing mastectomy is an oncologic surgical procedure in which cancerous breast tissue is removed while preserving as much of the overlying skin envelope as medically appropriate. Immediate reconstruction is performed during the same surgery to restore breast contour.
This approach eliminates the period during which a patient remains without breast reconstruction.
2. Does this procedure comply with oncological treatment principles?
Yes. Oncologic safety remains the primary priority.
The indication for skin-sparing mastectomy depends on tumor stage, size, location, and overall patient assessment. Reconstruction is performed only when oncological safety criteria are fully satisfied.
3. Is every breast cancer patient eligible for immediate reconstruction?
Not all patients are suitable candidates.
Eligibility depends on:
Cancer stage
Tumor size and extent
Skin and soft tissue condition
Planned adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy
A comprehensive medical evaluation and multidisciplinary consultation are required.
4. Will chemotherapy or radiotherapy still be necessary after surgery?
The need for adjuvant therapy depends on final pathological findings and cancer staging.
Surgical reconstruction does not replace systemic or radiation therapy when indicated. Treatment plans follow established oncology guidelines.
5. What is the typical hospital stay and recovery time?
In general:
Hospital stay: approximately 5–7 days, depending on the patient’s condition
Light daily activities: resume within 2–4 weeks
Full tissue stabilization: several months
Recovery varies according to individual health status and reconstruction technique.
6. What is the cost of skin-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction?
Costs vary depending on:
Reconstruction method (implant-based or autologous tissue)
Clinical condition
Hospitalization duration
Additional treatments required
Accurate cost estimates can only be provided after direct medical consultation and assessment.
Skin-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction (Technical Code 12.274) is an oncology-classified surgical procedure officially authorized by the Ministry of Health.
With 27 years of experience in breast reconstruction after cancer, Dr. Khiêm focuses on three core principles:
Ensuring oncologic safety and complete disease control
Selecting individualized reconstruction strategies
Restoring balanced, natural, and proportionate breast contours
Breast cancer treatment is a serious medical journey that requires strict adherence to licensed clinical practice standards and comprehensive patient care.
At EMCAS, the commitment extends beyond treatment —
It is a commitment to restoring both health and wholeness.
