“My work is to guide patients during their comprehensive recovery, helping them regain confidence, strength, and overall beauty.”
Dra. Mayra Croes
October is a significant month for women’s health, as efforts are intensified to raise awareness about breast cancer. This disease, one of the most common among women, not only affects them physically but also has a profound impact on self-esteem, body image, and the emotional well-being of those affected.
As a specialist in aesthetic medicine, I feel a strong commitment to provide treatments that complement traditional medical care, assisting women in healing from within. We know that facing a breast cancer diagnosis can evoke feelings of vulnerability and uncertainty.
It’s essential to focus on purpose-driven aesthetic medicine—not just to enhance beauty but also to support patients during difficult moments, helping them rediscover their beauty and inner strength, thus positively impacting their emotional health. By restoring their confidence in their image, we help women reintegrate into their social and personal environments, contributing to their overall well-being.
Breast cancer treatments often involve surgeries such as mastectomy or lumpectomy. While these procedures are necessary to save lives, they can leave both physical and emotional scars. Additionally, chemotherapy and radiation therapy can lead to visible effects, such as hair loss, changes in body shape, and weight fluctuations. These changes can result in insecurity, anxiety, and a disruption in the patient’s quality of life.
Self-image is closely linked to self-esteem, and during this challenging process, it is common for women to feel they have lost a part of their identity. Here, aesthetic medicine can become a valuable resource—not as a superficial solution but as a support for comprehensive recovery, helping patients feel renewed.
Aesthetic medicine offers a variety of treatments that can be part of the emotional and physical recovery process after breast cancer. Some of the most notable include:
• Scar treatments
• Skin care after radiation therapy
• Fillers and facial treatments
• Areola micropigmentation (restorative tattooing for the breast)
• Hair restoration treatments
• Body treatments
It is essential that these treatments be carried out by certified professionals. We understand that this is a delicate moment in a patient’s life, and mistakes can complicate not only physical health but also emotional well-being. Choosing a qualified aesthetic physician ensures safe and satisfactory results that contribute to the recovery process.
This October, we unite our efforts to support all the brave women facing breast cancer, reminding them that true beauty lies in strength, courage, and resilience.
