Breast Reconstruction ResourcesThe American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Plastic Surgery Educational Foundation support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October.

ASPS has put together the following resources for people with breast cancer, including treatment options and legislative initiatives. The resources on this page include links to letters from patients who have had breast reconstruction following mastectomy, a variety of ASPS/PSEF publications about breast cancer and breast reconstruction and a list of links to other online breast cancer support organizations. ASPS Members may access the Breast Reconstruction Ambassador Materials online.

ASPS is working to increase awareness of breast reconstruction options available to breast cancer patients, and reminds women to schedule regular cancer screenings.
