Breast cancer, the most common cancer in women, is increasingly managed as a chronic disease thanks to therapeutic advances. However, treatments such as chemotherapy and hormonotherapy often induce premature menopause in younger women, leading to skin aging, atrophy, and distressing symptoms that negatively affect quality of life. These cutaneous effects are frequently overlooked despite their psychological and social impact. Hyaluronic acid injections, already well established in aesthetic and reconstructive medicine, may offer a safe, minimally invasive option to restore skin quality, improve self-esteem, and enhance overall well-being in breast cancer survivors. This study aims to assess their efficacy and safety in this specific population.
