Breast Reconstruction Awareness

Surgery to rebuild a breast's shape — is often an option after mastectomy.

If you are considering reconstruction, you should talk with a plastic surgeon before your mastectomy. Some women begin reconstruction at the same time as the mastectomy; others wait several months or even years later. The choice is yours. SCROLL DOWN FOR UPCOMING EVENTS

Flat closures

There is always an option to go flat.

After mastectomy, women also have the option of leaving the chest flat. The decision to have reconstruction or go flat is very personal, there is no right or wrong choice that fits everyone.

Many types of reconstruction are available, so it is important for women to learn about the benefits and limitations of each alternative before making a decision.
