7 out of 10 women do not know their reconstructive options.

KNOW YOUR
RECONSTRUCTIVE OPTIONS


According to a recently published report by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) a staggering 70% of women who are eligible for reconstructive procedures following mastectomy are not informed of the reconstructive options available to them. In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month world-renowned micro-surgeons, Dr. Scott Sullivan and Dr. Frank DellaCroce of the Center for Restorative Breast Surgery (CRBS), will address participants of the October EnCourage Support Group meeting detailing the numerous options available to women facing breast cancer surgery, with a specific focus on immediate breast reconstruction techniques. "Many doctors do not tell their patients about the full spectrum of options simply because they may not be familiar with them," states Dr. Sullivan." Dr. DellaCroce states, "By giving each woman the full scope of choices, it puts the decision making back into her hands. She is the only one who can decide which, if any, reconstruction is right for her." Sullivan and DellaCroce are the world leaders in breast reconstruction, and develop and perform all revolutionary procedures at the St. Charles Surgical Hospital, including DIEP, SIEA, Hip Flap and GAP flap procedures, as well as the groundbreaking nipple-sparing mastectomy.
