The Implant Truth Survivors Committee launched Breast Implant Awareness Month in March 2018 to inform the public about implant risks, complications, and care.
March 1 marks the start of National Breast Implant Awareness Month – a time to bring attention to the importance of breast health and reconstruction options for those who have undergone mastectomy surgery. This month was created by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons in 1998 to educate and empower women about their choices when it comes to breast reconstruction. It's a time to celebrate advancements in technology and honor those who have overcome breast cancer. So let's raise awareness, support each other, and spread positivity this month!

WHY THIS DAY MATTERS
For many women who have undergone mastectomies due to breast cancer, breast implants can help restore their sense of femininity and confidence. National Breast Implant Awareness Month recognizes this aspect and celebrates these strong and courageous survivors.
National Breast Implant Awareness Month not only educates women about the risks and benefits of breast implants, but also brings attention to the importance of overall breast health. This includes self-examination, regular check-ups, and early detection of any irregularities.
Breast implants are a personal choice that should be made without judgment or pressure from society. National Breast Implant Awareness Month encourages individuals to feel confident in their own bodies, regardless of their decision to have cosmetic surgery.
