We've selected a few of the many letters the Center receives from past patients to share with others who are considering reconstructive breast surgery. These letters are candid, honest and not edited. Many find it helpful and comforting to see how others feel that have been through the process.

We extend our gratitude to these women who have allowed us to share their experience with you. Please, let us know if we can assist you further.
