Personalized Breast Care: A Guide for Cosmetic Surgery, Breast Cancer, and Reconstruction

Personalized Breast Care: Guide to Cosmetic Surgery, Breast Cancer and Reconstruction is a straightforward guide to breast health. The editors, Dr. Garrett A. Wirth, Dr. Karen T. Lane, and Dr. Keyian Z. Paydar found a balance between a complete medical textbook and a basic understanding of breast care to create this easy-to-read and comprehensive guide. The authors understand that not all areas of the book will apply to everyone. The goal is to provide information for all concerned with breast health. Read the chapters that are of most interest to you, and reference the rest as you wish. Chapter 2 is chock-full of medical lingo and can be used as a direct reference rather than read straight through, if need be. The aim of this guide is to help any individual navigate through the healthcare system as they go through breast cancer and surgery. The amount of information available to you is overwhelming, so this book is a condensed and comprehensive collection of everything you’d need to know. Breast cancer is a frightening reality for many. With chapters dedicated to the diagnosis progress, various therapies, and post cancer treatment life, you’ll be better prepared to face the disease. There is also a chapter dedicated to the education of family and friends in responding to a loved one’s cancer diagnosis. Plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures vary in intensity and necessity. Find out everything you need to know about breast augmentation, breast reduction, mastopexy, and breast reconstruction surgeries.
