Welcome to BRIDA, your Breast Reconstruction Information and Decision Advisor.

BRIDA is made for women who are considering breast reconstruction after mastectomy for cancer treatment or prevention.

BRIDA will help you consider:

We know these are difficult, personal decisions. BRIDA is here to support and empower you to work with your surgeon and choose the option that fits your life.

You can come back to this website as often as you want while making your decision.
