BRA stands for Breast Reconstruction Awareness. It is a striking fact that many women who have mastectomy are not offered a chance to learn about and possibly choose to have breast reconstructive surgery after mastecomy.

I am constantly humbled by the bravery and fierce commitment that my breast reconstruction patients show. They are the smartest and most involved patients I have. It is consistently an intense but fulfilling experience together with them.

Join the Washington Wines Festival and Beauty Over Cancer in Seattle’s first Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day to close the loop on breast cancer and boost awareness of the bust. Why? Because nearly 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer are not told about their option for breast reconstruction and EVERY woman deserves to be informed.

Get the facts. Spread the word. Have some fun and tango your heart out from 6-9pm Wednesday, October 17th at Wine World in Seattle. Seattle’s BRA Day Soiree will feature wine tasting, delicious bites, live music, a spectacular tango show at 7pm followed by a tango dance party and beginner lessons.  Bustiers encouraged!
