(HealthNewsDigest.com) – Join UCLA plastic surgeon, Charles Tseng, MD, as he discusses options for breast reconstruction after mastectomy and lumpectomy, from “flaps” to implants. He will also discuss the importance of a multidisciplinary, personalized approach to breast reconstruction.
Breast cancer will touch the lives of 1 in 8 women. The American Cancer Society estimates that 232,400 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. While advances in early detection and aggressive treatment have improved the ability to treat this disease, breast reconstruction helps complete the healing process by restoring the post-mastectomy breast to its natural appearance.
Join the conversation on Twitter at @UCLAHealth with hashtag #UCLAMDChat to ask Dr. Tseng questions.
