From the web page, you may join the team and then sign up to walk or run in the race (there is even a “sleep in option).  From there, Komen makes it easy for you to collect pledges.  If you would prefer to not join, but would like to make a pledge by credit card, hit the “Make a gift!” button on our team page.

Remember, one person can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.  We look forward to seeing you on race day!

Case of the Month - March 2010 - Fat Grafting for Breast Reconstruction

Monday, March 1st, 2010

The patient had bilateral mastectomies.  After appropriately removing cancer on the left, relatively thin tissue coverage was necessarily left.  After expansion, it was evident that there would be unavoidable contour irregularities.  Before implant exchange and nipple reconstruction, the patient’s own fat was injected (fat grafting) to help improve the soft tissue coverage.  The fat was well incorporated, provided padding over the implant, and improved the overlying skin texture and quality.  Fat grafting has variable take and may need to be repeated for optimal results.
