πŸ’— For some patients, breast cancer removal and reconstruction can happen in one procedure.

In an oncoplastic reduction, a breast surgeon removes the cancer while a plastic surgeon reshapes and reconstructs the breast at the same time. This approach ensures complete cancer removal while maintaining the breast’s natural appearance and symmetry.

By combining surgical expertise, patients like Carolyn experience fewer operations, smoother recovery, and healing that’s both physical and emotional.

πŸ’ͺ Three Generations. One Shared Legacy. Infinite Strength. πŸ’•
Meet Teresa, Janet, and Emma β€” a remarkable family connected not just by love, but by the inherited BRCA1 genetic mutation, which increases breast and ovarian cancer risk. Instead of fear, they chose knowledge, prevention, and empowerment.

From prophylactic surgeries to a personalized approach with three different types of breast reconstructions with Dr. Mark Smith, Director of Reconstructive Oncology at Norwell Health's Cancer Institute and Executive Driector at the Friedman Center, each generation has faced this challenge head-on with courage and grace.

Their story is a powerful reminder: Genetics is not your destiny. Action is. πŸ”¬βœ¨

πŸ‘ Cheers to the survivors, the previvors, and the advocates helping others find their strength.
