“The Skin-Sparing Mastectomy has made a huge difference in my life. It's enabled me to have the proper (reconstructive) surgery. I am myself again, I think I look good, my clothes fit, my husband is thrilled and I am very happy.”— Mary Palmer, DDS,
Breast Cancer Survivor & Skin-Sparing Mastectomy Recipient

About

The Breast Preservation Foundation’s (BPF) mission is to educate women about skin-sparing mastectomies and its advantages for an overall better cosmetic result. The BPF’s goal is to inform and empower women to ask more questions before having a potentially disfiguring biopsy, lumpectomy and traditional mastectomy. The BPF advocates that women insist their breast surgeon recognize the importance of preserving the breast which can improve their quality of life after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis.
