🩷 Making a Difference This Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🩷
As a plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, I’ve seen firsthand how life-changing it can be for women to feel whole again after breast cancer.
This week, I donated my own hair to be turned into wigs for breast cancer survivors, a small but symbolic act to support the very patients I have the honor of caring for every day.
Huge thanks to Lydia Blackstone and WJCL 22 News for sharing this story and helping spread awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 🙏
I hope this inspires others in medicine and beyond to find creative ways to give back.
