Breast Cancer Self Check Guide

Am I a candidate for breast reconstruction? ​

✅ You may be, if you're:¹ ​
• Coping with your diagnosis​
• Medically cleared for surgery​
• Emotionally ready​
• Aware of what reconstruction can and can’t do​

When can I have the surgery after consultation with my surgeon?² ​
🕐 Right away: During your mastectomy (immediate)​
⏳ Later on: After recovery from mastectomy or other treatments like chemo/radiation (delayed)​

Things to consider¹ ​
⚠️ A reconstructed breast won’t feel the same as the one it replaces​
⚠️ There will always be visible incision lines on the breast​
⚠️ Some techniques leave scars at the donor site (e.g. back, abdomen, buttocks)​
​
🎗️ Breast reconstruction is a highly individualized procedure.¹ You should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.¹ ​

Let's discuss breast reconstruction options available to you. ​

🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀

Early detection matters. Take time to know your breasts, recognize changes, and stay up to date with recommended breast cancer screenings.

Here are 4 important steps:

💕 Know Your Normal — Be familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel.

🔎 Notice Changes — A new lump, swelling, skin changes, ni**le changes, or unusual discharge should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

📅 Get Your Mammogram — Stay current with recommended breast cancer screening based on your age and personal risk.

🩷 Know Your Risk — Family history, genetics, and certain medical histories may affect your screening plan.

Remember: Not every breast change means cancer, but new or unusual changes should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, make your breast health a priority. 💗
