October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it's also home to National Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) Day, which promotes awareness of post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and ensures access to vital information. It offers support to courageous breast cancer survivors and previvors, aiming to enhance their lives through informed decisions. Currently, less than 25% of women receive critical reconstruction information at the time of mastectomy, but BRA Day is working to change that. Since 2012, MTF Biologics has proudly supported BRA Day through its BRAve Women campaign. BRAve shares inspiring stories of women who chose breast reconstruction, showcasing how tissue donation plays a key role in improving outcomes for survivors. Through tissue donation, we've witnessed life-changing transformations.

As we celebrate the 12th anniversary of FlexHD Pliable, Dr. Asaad Samra, a board-certified plastic surgeon, he highlights his use of FlexHD for its uniform thickness, predictability and natural results. Dr. Samra emphasizes that these qualities make FlexHD a trusted choice in achieving outstanding outcomes, contributing to its use in over 150,000 plastic and reconstructive procedures.

The Mission Plasticos Gala, Celebration of Global Friendships, was truly a great night filled with inspiration. Kyle Richards gave a heartfelt talk on her reconstruction journey. A special highlight was hearing Morgan Wade perform a powerful song inspired by her BRCA-positive diagnosis. Her lyrics, “I feel less than a woman... I wanna hear little feet on a hardwood floor,” moved everyone in the room.

Did you know that the gift of a dental bone graft can be life-changing? This Dental Implant Awareness Month, we're spotlighting Dr. Regina Fearmonti's inspiring story. As a plastic surgeon and a grateful recipient of a bone graft in her lower mandible after a root canal went awry, Dr. Fearmonti understands the profound impact these grafts can have. The quality and care that go into each graft have not only supported her healing process but also reinforced her trust in the safety and responsibility of tissue donation. #TissueDonation #DentalImplantAwarenessMonth #DonateLife

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor Liz, a vibrant artist and entrepreneur whose life changed after a severe fall. Multiple fractures threatened her active lifestyle, but thanks to the support of her community and a generous bone and skin graft donation, Liz made a remarkable recovery. Previously skeptical about organ donation due to her Puerto Rican upbringing, Liz is now a registered donor, forever grateful for the gift that allowed her to continue her passion for art. "My donor is now part of the artist that I am." #HispanicHeritageMonth #TissueDonation #DonateLife

This #DentalImplantAwarenessMonth, we are reflecting on the journey and incredible gifts of tissue donation of our very own, Lauralee Brown. After 30 years of working in donation and transplantation, Lauralee found herself on the receiving end, grateful for the bone grafts from three donors that followed her periodontal surgery. "These gifts have given me a million reasons to smile and inspired me to continue uplifting the legacies of donor families who make this possible," Lauralee says. Last year, Lauralee's mother received donated bone grafts for dental implants after she was unable to eat from poorly fitting dentures. Thanks to the generosity of donors, they now share more reasons to smile, socialize and savor more joyful moments at the table together. #DentalImplantAwareness #TissueDonation #DonateLife
