1 in 12 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

1 in 72 women will die from breast cancer.

The bulk of deaths from breast cancer is in the developing world.

It is sad to see how many of these women would have lived if they knew that beyond that cancer treatment, Reconstructive surgery was possible.

While we spread awareness about the condition, it is important that we offer hope of what is possible.

So is breast reconstruction done in Nigeria??

YES!!!

ask a plastic surgeon near you about it.

Breast reconstruction is surgery done to restore the shape,size and appearance of your breast after it has been removed due to damage or surgery.

The commonest reason for reconstruction is after treatment of breast cancer by mastectomy.

Hello all.
I have been running a series on breast reconstruction.

A lot of women don't know that when a breast is removed for cancer treatment, it can be reconstructed.

Some run away from mastectomy because of fear of what would replace the lost breast.

Mastectomy takes a heavy toll on a woman's self confidence.
But it is a necessary life saving surgery.

That is why we give hope to women,your breast can be reconstructed. Just don't delay your cancer treatment.

The next few videos will be of breast reconstruction.

Please share these videos to all who may benefit.
