PINK RIBBON STRONG 365 IS DEDICATED TO
PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES AND SHARING REAL STORIES TO
SUPPORT PATIENTS, SURVIVORS, AND PREVIVORS
IRVINE,
Calif., Nov. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Allergan
Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), is continuing its
commitment to provide education and support for breast health,
restoration, and research through its Pink Ribbon Strong 365
campaign. Mindful that breast cancer affects people of all races,
ethnicities, and socioeconomic status and does not limit its impact
to a specific time of the year, Pink Ribbon Strong 365 is a
year-round program advocating for awareness, empowering confidence,
and supporting those organizations creating an impact in the fight
against breast cancer.
"Whether you've received a recent diagnosis, are currently going
through treatment, or are in remission, we understand that each
woman's journey is deeply personal," said Carrie Strom, Senior
Vice President, AbbVie, and President, Global Allergan Aesthetics.
"The fight against breast cancer doesn't stop because Breast Cancer
Awareness month is over, which is why the Pink Ribbon Strong 365
campaign is focused on supporting organizations that help women
year-round."
Pink Ribbon Strong 365 strives to help women on their unique
journeys in a multitude of ways:
- Natrelle® Cares Package: a
thoughtfully curated collection of items created by breast cancer
survivors and other resources provided to breast cancer patients,
survivors, and previvors. The package includes educational
resources to support and empower women to make the right choices
for themselves and useful items such as SkinMedica®
skincare products.
- Natrelle® Inspires Bra, a
Natrelle® x AnaOno Collaboration: a
partnership with AnaOno to sponsor the creation of a purposefully
designed bralette for breast cancer patients that gives back. For
every bra sold, one is donated to a breast cancer patient in
need.
- "Not Just One," Award-Winning Documentary: a powerful
documentary that featured women impacted by breast cancer who
walked in the New York Fashion Week to raise awareness and funds
for METAvivor®, a nonprofit organization dedicated to
funding metastatic breast cancer (MBC) research. Watch now on
Amazon Prime. Proceeds from each purchase go to
METAvivor®.
- Inspiring Patient Stories Shed Light on Reconstruction
Journey: featured on Lifetime TV to share the story of a woman
who went through implant-based breast reconstruction after being
treated for breast cancer. The segment will be available to view on
Natrelle®'s YouTube channel.
- Additional Partnerships: working with like-minded
organizations who share the same goals, such
as METAvivor®, Young Survival Coalition, Adelphi NY
Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program, Sisters
Network, ALAS Wings, Pink Lemonade Project, Living Beyond
Breast Cancer, Breast Cancer Resource Center, AiRS Alliance in
Reconstructive Surgery, and Susan Komen in Orange County, Calif., Austin, San
Francisco, New Jersey, and
Chicago.

Natrelle® Breast Implants IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The longer patients
have them, the greater the chance they will develop complications,
which may require more surgery. Breast implants have been
associated with a cancer of the immune system called breast
implant–associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). Some
patients have died from BIA-ALCL. Patients have also reported a
variety of systemic symptoms such as joint pain, muscle aches,
confusion, chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, and
others.
Natrelle® Breast Implants are for breast
reconstruction to replace breast tissue that was removed due to
cancer or trauma or that failed to develop properly due to severe
breast abnormality, and for revision surgery to improve primary
breast reconstruction.
You should not get breast implants if you currently have an
active infection, untreated breast cancer or precancer, or are
pregnant or nursing. Tell your doctor about any conditions you
have, any medications you are taking, and any planned cancer
treatments. Breast implantation is likely not a one-time surgery.
Having implants removed and not replaced may lead to permanent
cosmetic changes of the breasts. Breast implants may affect
breastfeeding. Gel implants may rupture without symptoms, so
periodic imaging after surgery is recommended.
Key complications are reoperation, implant removal, implant
rupture, implant deflation with saline-filled implants, and severe
capsular contracture.
Talk to your doctor for more information.
The use of Natrelle® Breast Implants is
restricted to licensed physicians who provide information to
patients about the risks and benefits of breast implant
surgery.
