DERBY - Circle of Friends, a
breast cancer support group at the Center for Cancer Care at Griffin
Hospital, invites the community to an open house and discussion on innovative breast reconstruction and enhancement
techniques at 6 p.m. Oct. 10 at The Center for Cancer
Care, 350 Seymour Ave.
Griffin Hospital Plastic
Surgery Section Chief John F. Reilly and Assistant Plastic Surgery
Section Chief Mark M. Melendez, will talk about the advances in
breast reconstruction, including the Deep Inferior
Epigastric Perforator flap surgery, in which excess skin and fat
along the lower portion of the abdomen is used to create a new
‘natural’ breast after mastectomy or for breast augmentation.
The open house will also
mark the support group’s Fifth Annual Birthday Celebration, in which
members celebrate the birthdays of all breast cancer survivors.

call Donna Hayes, 203-732-1408 or Tori Kochiss, 203-732-1300 to reserve a spot or for more information.
This is a press release from Griffin Hospital.
