According to Dr. Horton's blog post titled "," a large part of her practice is "committed to increasing awareness and educating others about the options for breast reconstruction, particularly advanced breast reconstruction techniques involving implants in a single stage, or using microsurgical techniques that do not sacrifice major muscles of the body." She goes on to say she and her practice welcome anyone and everyone interested in supporting breast reconstruction awareness, and she hopes to see a great turnout.
