Hidden Scar™ Breast Cancer Surgery

When your breast cancer care plan calls for surgery, Cape Cod Healthcare’s expert physicians are focused on treating the whole patient. We were the first in Massachusetts to offer Hidden Scar™ Breast Cancer Surgery. Breast surgeon Kathryn Dalton, DO is one of nine surgeons in the state that is certified and trained in the Hidden Scar technique.

In Hidden Scar surgery, a single incision is made along the natural folds of the skin to remove cancerous tissue, sparing the nipple, areola and surrounding breast tissue. This procedure minimizes scarring and helps to preserve the natural breast shape with the aim of maintaining a woman’s physical appearance and minimizing the emotional impact of breast surgery.
