Sientra, Mission Plasticos Launch Reshaping Lives: Full Circle A Philanthropic Initiative For Women Living In Poverty In America

10/20/2021

Sientra, Inc. and Mission Plasticos are launching Reshaping Lives: Full Circle, a nationwide program aimed at providing reconstructive breast surgery for post-mastectomy women living in poverty. 

This is the first phase of Mission Plasticos’ recently announced Reshaping Lives America, a large-scale, nationwide program providing reconstructive surgical care at no cost to people living in poverty in the U.S., and is being funded through a $1 million donation from Sientra.

“Sientra has a rich history of giving back to the community, starting with our Full Circle grant program and now continuing through our support of Mission Plasticos’, Reshaping Lives: America initiative,” says Ron Menezes, President and CEO of Sientra and Chairman of the Reshaping Lives America Corporate Council, in a news release.  “With this partnership, we are pleased to expand and amplify our Full Circle program, which will now become Reshaping Lives: Full Circle. This new program will provide women in need with access to breast reconstruction and allow Sientra to make a significant impact to the reconstruction community in a targeted way.”

Sientra will recruit board-certified volunteer surgeons across the United States to join the program and will provide their state-of-the-art silicone gel breast implants and their breast tissue expanders, which are used to form a new breast pocket that will eventually hold the long-term breast implant, at no cost for qualified women enrolled in the program. Mission Plasticos will then pair those surgeons with appropriate local patients, at no cost to the patient.

“At Mission Plasticos, we are driven by the belief that all women deserve a full journey of care, regardless of their economic situation, and we are excited to partner with a company that also shares this belief,” says Susan Williamson, Executive Director of Mission Plasticos. “Thanks to Sientra’s generous $1M donation and commitment, together we can focus on closing the gaps in care for women with cancer living in poverty.”
