Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed life - threatening cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer death among women all over the world. Breast conservation surgery combined with radiotherapy has become the standard treatment for the majority of patients with early - stage breast cancer, with equivalent survival to that of mastectomy and improved body image and lifestyle scores. oncoplastic surgery allows for complete resection of tumor, preservation of normal parenchyma tissue, and the use of local or regional tissue for immediate breast reconstruction at the time of conservative surgery. One of the limitations concerning oncoplastic surgery is that the additional procedure would result in complications and affect cosmetic outcomes. This is a prospective clinical study of 20 patients presented with stage I or II breast cancer undergone tissue displacement techniques as oncoplastic surgery and we detect incidence of early local complications and cosmetic outcomes in first month postoperative. The results were 2 patients developed skin necrosis in first week reached to 3 patient in second week and one patient with seroma. By one month no complication detected and good cosmetic outcomes in most patients and complications correlated only to co - morbidities. It is concluded that these techniques are safe and give best results to patient with early breast cancer
