Short video discussion about the importance of aesthetic breast reconstruction after a breast cancer diagnosis. Speakers (including Dr. Robert Whitfield MD) emphasize surgical goals—size, shape, symmetry, projection—and recommend early consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons; the BRAVE initiative (Breast cancer Restoration, Advocacy, and Education) is introduced to raise awareness and access.

From the moment that you get the call that you have cancer, you don't think of life beyond cancer. You think of it the moment and actually make final plans for your life. Get things in order.
But there is time to make decisions, decisions that will shape your appearance for years to come. And time to find board certified plastic surgeons who specialize in aesthetic breast Reconstruction. Surgeons like Dr. Robert Whitfield.
So for aesthetic breast reconstruction, we're worried about size, shape, symmetry, and projection. Whether we're using implants or your own tissue, those are the factors that are most important to me to get the best result for you.
Started five years ago, BRAVE stands for breast cancer restoration, advocacy and education.
And it's really about getting awareness out there that women should get a plastic surgeon within their time of diagnosis. And then the access to make sure women can get to a plastic surgeon.
