Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Lawrence Iteld, MD says WHY breast reconstruction surgery is so important in helping women live the life they want to live!

Online PR News � 15-November-2016 � Women decide to have breast reconstruction for many personal reasons, and here is one of the best ones: being able to live the life she wants and to live the way she wants to live it!

This is one of Board Certified plastic surgeon lawrence Iteld, MDs patients. She had a bilateral mastectomy followed by his performing reconstructive surgery. Its not about how I did her surgery, said Dr. Iteld. The important message here is WHY we do Breast Reconstruction surgery. And, his answer is that it empowers women to live an unencumbered and unburdened life, to do what they want and feel good about it.

This patient looks and feels fantastic about herself. In her early 40s, her self-image could have been greatly altered after having a mastectomy. Instead, she proudly shows off her swimsuit model look, enjoying herself and sharing her beautiful appearance with others. The goal of breast reconstruction is to restore the breasts to near normal shape, appearance, symmetry and size. Breast reconstruction gives women hope, balance and empowerment to rebuild their lives.

Dr. Iteld believes that, all too often, medical professionals and patients focus on what techniques or procedures are being used. But, that is not whats important. The emphasis should be on outcomes, he said. When I see a patient in my office or get photos like these and know my patient is happy, then I know I have affected positive change. Thats what reconstruction is about.
