I just listened to a very informative webinar about breast reconstruction after breast cancer. Being that it is Breast Cancer Awareness month and that I am highlighting so many “pink products” that will benefit breast cancer charities, I though it were equally important to share this webinar with you.

The event was hosted by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Webinar speakers and topics include:
• Linda Phillips, MD, moderator
• Roberta Gartside, MD, breast cancer survivor, breast reconstruction patient and plastic surgeon, used her personal experience in discussing the importance of the “team approach” in the mastectomy-reconstruction process.
• Missy Fish, ASPS 2008 Patient of Courage honoree, breast cancer survivor and breast reconstruction patient shared her personal success story of recovery and giving back.
• Andrea Pusic, MD, addressed patient satisfaction and the “latest and greatest” in breast reconstruction techniques, including fat transfer and stem cell research.
• Amy Alderman, MD, discussed the challenges facing Latina patients, and how age, income brackets and physical condition play a part in access to reconstruction.
