JACKSONVILLE, FL (8/19/10) - Please join us for a night to remember.

"We specialize in post-mastectomy reconstructive surgery that helps restore a breast cancer survivor's look and her confidence. We're looking forward to seeing our patients grace the runway, looking and feeling beautiful and helping fellow and future breast cancer survivors do the same."
