Through this surprise, Evita wanted to bring hope and joy to the children, and it looked like this was achieved by looking at the children’s eyes full of joy as they took their present.
On such days Evita has thought that being near those who need not only gives pleasure to those who receive but also to the company itself.
Evita provides Mentor implants for a patient at risk of breast cancer
Based on the results of tests performed to identify the BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 gene, a 39-year-old patient had a high predisposition to be affected in the future by breast cancer. To drastically reduce the risk of developing this pathology, she decided to voluntarily remove the breasts and perform their plastic reconstruction.
The intervention was performed at the “Mother Teresa” Hospital, by oncoplastic surgeons Prof. Ass. Helidon Nina and PHD. Dimitrios Varvaras. This voluntary reconstructive breast removal intervention is also the first case in the country to be performed in a public hospital.
How is breast reconstruction performed?
Breast reconstruction consists of removing the central tissue, preserving most of the breast skin, and positioning the implant under the skin or chest muscle.
This intervention presents a challenge and difficulty in the public sector, as prostheses are costly and must be provided individually by the patient. For this reason, Evita sh.p.k, supported the patient in its journey, providing breast implants, selected by the world-famous brand MENTOR®.
Rated as the number one global brand for breast implants, MENTOR® products are FDA approved in the United States and have undergone numerous clinical trials, confirming their safety and effectiveness.
With more than 30 years of experience in the market, MENTOR® is guided by patient needs, combining innovation and safety, to guarantee high quality standards. MENTOR® is part of the large family of medical and pharmaceutical products, Johnson & Johnson.
