Paying It
Forward
After Cancer
P
ink Perfect founder, Michelle Kolath-Arbel, is a breast
cancer survivor who had a one-sided mastectomy
followed by reconstructive surgery. Though she had a
new breast, her original nipple had been removed, and she
said she felt incomplete.
“After three operations, I looked at myself in the mirror, and I was
not satisfied,” Kolath-Arbel said. “My breast had been replaced, but
something was missing: the topping on the cake.”
Determined to pay it forward so that other breast cancer survivors
would never feel the way she did, Kolath-Arbel started Pink Perfect,
a company that produces realistic, custom-made and ready-made
adhesive silicone nipples for women who have undergone unilateral or
bilateral mastectomies. Visit pink-perfect.com for more information,
and to learn more about Kolath-Arbel’s personal experience.
