On Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day (National BRA Day), Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), launched Reblossom, a coffee table book featuring a collection of patient stories and photographs that celebrates the resilience of breast cancer survivors and thrivers. The Reblossom book was created through the support of Allergan Aesthetics by photographer Erez Sabag in collaboration with Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Jonathan Bank. Reblossom explores the stories of 12 women and their unique journeys with breast cancer and breast reconstruction. All proceeds from the purchase of the Reblossom book benefit Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC), a national nonprofit organization that connects people with trusted information and a community of support.

“We are honored to support The Reblossom Project and celebrate the women who have bravely shared their personal experiences in this book. I’ve learned so much from their stories about how they found beauty through the challenges faced throughout their diagnosis, treatment, and recovery,” said Carrie Strom, President, Global Allergan Aesthetics and Senior Vice President, AbbVie. “This project is part of our dedication to the breast cancer community and ongoing commitment to uplifting their voices by partnering with organizations throughout the year to further drive support, education, and awareness.”
