Recovering from breast cancer begins with facing and overcoming the disease.
Then comes the time for reconstruction, both physical and emotional, an obligatory process for resuming a “normal” life, which we hear about much less often.
Overcoming breast cancer in most cases requires the removal of part of the breast (lumpectomy), or even all of it (mastectomy).
In both situations, breast reconstruction can allow the patient to find herself and reclaim her body.
An opportunity that only 30% of the women concerned take advantage of*.
Safe and innovative solutions
At GC Aesthetics, a manufacturer of medical devices, believing in second chances is a philosophy.
This is why the company's mission is to help women who have gone through an ordeal as overwhelming as breast cancer to regain self-confidence.
As one of the market leaders in breast reconstruction in France, GC Aesthetics develops medical devices that allow surgeons to offer the most complete breast reconstruction possible to their patients.
The goal is to recreate a breast of similar size and shape to the original breast.
The process can begin immediately following the mastectomy (immediate breast reconstruction) or during the procedure itself, or during a separate procedure after the mastectomy (delayed breast reconstruction) to allow the patient to convalescence time.
Latest innovation for GC Aesthetics: the FixNip NRI nipple-areolar plate (PAM) reconstruction implant.
This smooth biocompatible silicone implant is designed to restore projection and shape to the nipple, and which faithfully mimics the appearance, texture and projection of a real nipple.
It is the final stage of total breast reconstruction, allowing women to feel complete again.
The procedure can be carried out during the reconstruction surgery or afterwards, because the installation of a FixNip NRI implant only takes around twenty minutes.
“According to Professor Michael Atlan, Plastic Surgeon in Paris and FixNip NRI installer, “with the data we have at the Tenon/Sorbonne Médecine Université hospital, on the first 50 cases, we have a maintenance of the projection which is 95% at two years”.
