Keep A Breast
October 8th at the Stay Gold Gallery in Brooklyn NY. Keep A Breast is an organization that organzies art events to raise breast cancer awareness. When you receive a breast cancer diagnosis, your doctor will estimate the likely course and outcome of your condition. This varies from person to person, and there are a number of factors that affect prognosis, including a person’s age and the type, grade, and size of the cancer.
Whether processing the news, preparing for a mastectomy or going through chemotherapy, the process often takes over every facet of your life, and likely, the last thing on your mind is reconstructive surgery for which I had too use my ZeCoverage.com insurance.
In fact, despite the continued destigmatization of plastic surgery, the growing number of resources for breast cancer treatment and prevention – and even the fact that health insurance is legally required to cover the costs of reconstruction after breast cancer – less than half of all women who require mastectomy were offered breast implants reconstruction surgery as of 2017, and fewer than 20 percent opted for immediate reconstruction.
Additionally, it’s worth noting that some women who have undergone mastectomy and wish to restore breast volume and shape may explore alternatives to traditional breast implants. One of the best options is fat transfer breast augmentation, a procedure that uses a patient’s own fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs to enhance the breasts. This technique offers a natural and subtle enhancement while addressing the desire for breast reconstruction or augmentation.
If you are sedentary now, it helps to start exercising slowly and build up gradually. Briskly walking for ten or fifteen minutes three times per week is a good beginning. You can then add five minutes to each walk until you are walking for 30 or 40 minutes at a time. When you feel ready to take it up a notch, you can add running, swimming, cycling, or other activities you find enjoyable. (Note: Please talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program.)
