Industry support vital for Breast Reconstruction Awareness efforts

CORPORATE SPONSORS SUPPORT BRA Day Efforts

Research shows that far too many women diagnosed with breast cancer still don’t know about their reconstruction options following a mastectomy. Launched by ASPS and The PSF in 2012, the Breast Reconstruction Awareness USA Campaign is instrumental in providing these women with both education and information about their reconstructive options as they undergo breast cancer treatment.

Breast reconstruction can help women rebuild their self-esteem and improve their quality of life following breast cancer surgery. Plastic surgeons play an important role in a breast cancer patient’s recovery process and the annual Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day movement gives those surgeons an opportunity to empower cancer patients, celebrate survivors and help women make an informed decision at the time of diagnosis.

The eighth annual Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day will take place on Oct. 16, 2019. The Breast Reconstruction Awareness Campaign would not be possible without the generous support of our dedicated corporate sponsors. Thanks to their commitment, the campaign continues to provide education and resources about reconstructive surgery and raise awareness to close the loop on breast cancer – both on Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day and throughout the year.
