ATLANTA, Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Atlanta-based Perimeter Plastic Surgery honors breast cancer survivors this month for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The plastic surgery practice offers breast reconstruction surgeries including the DIEP Flap. Dr. Deutsch is one of the only surgeons in the Atlanta area who performs the DIEP Flap procedure for breast reconstruction.
Dr. Mark Deutsch has spent over 20 years studying and practicing plastic and reconstructive surgery and has published multiple articles and lectures regarding breast reconstruction. In addition, he is honored to use his expertise to help women who have undergone a mastectomy as a result of breast cancer. Throughout the stages of breast cancer, either a unilateral or bilateral mastectomy is recommended in hopes to remove all cancerous tissue, before spreading to other parts of the body. Dr. Deutsch's goal is to help women feel like themselves again, while moving forward with their lives after experiencing breast cancer.
"October is officially recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I believe that women should take all necessary steps to detect breast cancer at an early stage. Perimeter Plastic Surgery is a proud advocate and supporter for all breast cancer survivors. My team and I will work closely as your plastic surgery practice to provide you with the best personalized care," says Dr. Deutsch.
In hopes to drastically improve survival outcomes and prevent breast cancer by detecting it early on, it is recommended to participate in self-exams every month. For women over the age of 40, doctors recommend going in for a mammogram every year. For women under 40, and especially those who are known to have risk factors associated with breast cancer, should also go in to get checked. Despite your age, everyone should practice breast awareness. It is important to be familiar with the signs and symptoms so you can prevent it by taking early action.
"At Perimeter Plastic Surgery, we know that breast reconstruction may be associated with feelings and substantial decisions to make," said Dr. Deutsch. "No matter the circumstances, we promise to be respectful and understanding to fit each patient's comfort and needs."
