Position your brand as a trusted educator and advocate for informed breast implant decisions, building credibility through safety-focused content and community support initiatives.
- Share patient testimonials and expert Q&As on implant safety and realistic expectations
- Host virtual or in-person webinars with plastic surgeons and survivors discussing risks, benefits, and recovery

National Breast Implant Awareness Month started in March 2018. The Implant Truth Survivors Committee and the National Day Calendar founded it. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons also supported this initiative.
Before the creation of this awareness month, concerns about breast implants had been growing. In 1992, the FDA placed a moratorium on silicone implants due to safety concerns, lifting it in 2006 after further studies.
This period highlighted the need for better information and support for women considering implants. The awareness month now helps fill that gap, promoting education and dialogue about breast health and the impacts of implants.
