Embracing Confidence with Le Silhouette -Honoring Breast Cancer awareness month at The French NP

October is in full swing, most of the leaves are in the middle of their color changing transformation, glasses have been filled with apple cider, and pumpkins have made their doorstep appearances. Yes, the month of October is filled with Fall festivities; but thanks to this month, there is an important subject that has been brought into the spotlight. Known as “Octobre Rose” (Pink October) in France, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Our voices are impactful; we can lift up our voices to help others. One of the most significant takeaways we can have while spreading breast cancer awareness is to not only get screened but to speak more openly about screening tests.

According to the American Cancer Society, women at the age of 40 have the option to start screening with a mammogram (low dose x-rays of the breast) every year. Women ages 45 to 54 should consider getting mammograms every year. Women 55 and older can choose to continue yearly mammograms or switch to every other year as long as they are in good health.

It is recommended that women of all ages be familiar with how their breasts look and feel; and report any changes to a health care provider right away. Along with annual mammograms, a breast self exam can be performed each month to check for any new lumps, thickenings, hardened knots, or any other breast changes. Men who have a strong family history of breast cancer and/ or a BRCA mutation should also undergo careful screening. 

Here at The French NP, our hearts are with those who have or know someone who has been affected by breast cancer. To all the exceptional individuals who have braved the challenges of a mastectomy, we want you to know that your resilience is truly inspiring. Every day is a victory, no matter how small it may seem. 

Your personal voyage is not just about loss; it’s also about a revival - embracing the depths of transformation as you turn a new chapter in life. Our devoted team at The French NP believes in celebrating every step of your healing process.

Following a mastectomy and breast augmentation surgery, some may realize that once fully healed, they are experiencing concerns regarding divots along their chest. For those wishing to mend the concavity (denting) that can occur, we offer a non-surgical treatment to address this issue. “Le Silhouette” is an exceptional option for post healing care.
