Breast Reconstruction is our passion. We specialize in state-of-the art breast reconstruction procedures including DIEP flap, SIEA flap, GAP flap, thigh flaps, fat grafting, direct-to-implant, nipple-sparing mastectomy, and lymphedema surgery. Combined, our surgeons have over 100 years of advanced breast reconstruction and microsurgery experience. All of our surgeons have completed extensive microsurgery training.
Patients undergoing mastectomy must understand they may lose all feeling to the chest area, regardless of whether they choose to have breast reconstruction or not. Most patients undergoing breast reconstruction will also candidates for nerve reconstruction (“ TruSense℠ or Resensation®”) at the time of their reconstruction. This repairs the nerves cut by the mastectomy and significantly improves return of feeling to the reconstructed breast.

Shared decision-making (SDM) is the most important aspect of patient-centered health care. Shared decision-making occurs when the health care professional and patient work together to make a treatment decision that is best for the patient. The best decision takes into account evidence-based information about treatment options, the physician’s knowledge and experience, and equally, the patient’s preferences and values. Multiple studies show this collaborative approach improves patient outcomes and satisfaction. At PRMA, we believe each patient is unique, and as such, no two breast reconstruction journeys will be alike. To empower our patients with the information they need we recommend patients download the Breast Advocate app–the world’s first shared decision-making app for breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction.
PRMA is One of the Leading Breast Reconstruction Centers in the World
We have performed over 12,500 breast reconstruction procedures, including over 10,500 microsurgical flap procedures, making PRMA one of the leading breast reconstruction centers in the World.
Breast Reconstruction
Women have several breast reconstruction options to consider following breast cancer surgery. After a mastectomy, options range from implants to “flap” techniques which use the patient’s own tissue to recreate a “natural”, warm, soft breast. Breast reconstruction can also be performed at the same time as a lumpectomy to maximize the cosmetic results and maintain breast symmetry.
Lymphedema Surgery
At PRMA we offer the complete spectrum of upper extremity lymphedema treatment. Microsurgery is part of our daily practice and we are proud to offer our patients state-of-the-art reconstructive procedures including lyphatic-to-vascular anastomosis (“LVA” hook-up) and vascularized lymph node transfer.
Cosmetic Surgery
Whether you’re interested in breast augmentation, breast reduction, liposuction or any other body cosmetic surgery procedure, our plastic surgeons will provide you with the best results possible.
PRMA Plastic Surgery Patient Stories

I’m super excited and love the results and feel amazing. I want to let anyone listening to this know that I had the worst anxiety before my surgery thinking of everything you can imagine. I can say that this was 100% the right choice for me I love the way that I look. The process was much easier than what I expected.

Oh what I would give to have found PRMA before my mastectomy, prosthesis, implants and 6 plus years of not being satisfied. I thank God every day for bringing PRMA into my life and I thank them for doing what they do so well. My wish is that PRMA reaches as many women possible early on so they too can benefit from the amazing work that they do for breast cancer patients. I promote PRMA every chance I have!

I would like to say is throughout the whole procedure from the first procedure, to the second procedure, to my final procedures I never felt less than a woman.

I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience I've had so far with such a major surgery. Luisa, Dr. Whipple's nurse, has also played a large role in my journey, she responds to emergency calls immediately, answers any questions I've had via email and in person.

Dr. Pisano was my surgeon for a bilateral mastectomy with immediate DIEP Flap reconstruction. He and his nurse Emily were absolutely amazing and did great work on my first and second surgery. Emily was there any time I needed more information before surgery and during the healing process. She definitely gave me peace of mind when I wasn't sure if what was happening with my body was normal post surgery. Dr. Pisano was very reassuring that he would do everything to make me feel comfortable in my own skin again & he honestly has made me look better than I ever have. Our biggest goal was for my quality of life to go back to as normal as possible and I can say that we achieved that. He was also very straight forward about what the surgeries would entail and what I should realistically expect post surgery. He made sure to take the time to explain everything to me in detail, which I really appreciated. I had zero surprises post surgery and went into surgery very comfortable and confident due to the team of ALL-STARS I had. Throughout the surgery, the surgical team made sure to contact my family every hour and a half or so to give them an update. My hospital stay was as comfortable as it could be when you've been through a surgery this big. My nurses were absolutely amazing. They had me up and walking within 24 hours of the surgery and I was home withing 48 hours. Everything has healed great and you can't even tell I've had 2 major surgeries over the past 10 months. Recovery has been a little more of a struggle than I expected. Not to the fault of anyone at all. My body is just taking it's time gaining abdominal strength and doesn't like to dissolve sutures. I have A TON more feeling and sensation than I initially expected. I'd say I have about 95% of feeling in my tummy and breasts and I owe that to the surgical team for being so thorough. My scars are very thin, and almost non-existent. I'm sure with time they will fade and barely be visible. I can't recommend PRMA & Dr. Pisano enough. They are true experts & artists at what they do. I have zero regrets with my surgical team and appreciate them for helping me get through cancer with my self esteem intact. Going through cancer is hard enough... So if you are having a hard time making a decision about surgery or selecting a surgeon, save your energy and the headache and just set up a consultation with Dr. Pisano to go over all of your options. They'll give you all the information you need and make sure the decisions you make are whats right for you.

I just finished Phase 2 of the DIEP flap process. I am very pleased with my healing and the results. The first surgery is a hard recovery because it is a major surgery, but I would remind others beginning this journey to hang in there and trust the process. This group knows what it is doing and can help you with any issues that come up, and they do because it is a major undertaking. I would also tell others to not be timid in emailing your nurse about any questions you might have because the post-op instructions can't tell you everything. It is our first time to have this surgery and don't know what is normal. Also, aside from following those instructions, I found walking and eating healthy, 100 g of protein a day and taking Juven helped with my healing. If you belly button is too flat for your liking, consider a "belly button" trainer. The PRMA and FB group "DIEP Flap Support Group" were both helpful. I am very grateful about being cancer-free and happy to look in the mirror and see boobs that make me feel like myself. The hip to hip scar will fade. I am very happy and grateful. Thank you, Dr. Pisano, Dr. Whipple, Nurse Emily and PRMA.

I had such a horrible experience at DHR in Edinburg TX. They completely destroyed me! Thankfully i found PRMA. Dr Ochoa gave me the most amazing results possible! I am completely satisfied & thankful for him. He preformed a DIEP flap procedure My end result of the past surgery was horrible & i honestly didn’t think anything would be able to be done i felt like i didn’t have solution. I thought going into surgery wouldn’t fix much. Lord i was wrong!! Dr Ochoa made me look soooo good. He gave me my confidence back. He made me feel like a woman again. My end result has been perfect! Besides the normal scaring you wouldn’t be able to tell I’ve gone through everything! I’m extremely happy with my results! Thank you Dr.Ochoa! May god bless you with many more years of life & health!

Dr. Nastala at PRMA is the most caring, kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable doctor I have ever had. I always felt comfortable asking him questions and reaching out to him. His work is truly a work of art. Every time I look at my body, I feel confident that I made the best choice by choosing him, going to PRMA, and traveling from New Mexico to San Antonio, TX. He restored my confidence after everything cancer put me through. I cannot thank him enough for the body he created for me, and I will always encourage any cancer patient who is struggling to choose him and trust him.

There are no words to express my appreciation. The staff, the nurses and the professionalism is above five stars. Cancer was a dark hallway I was forced to walk and Dr. Ochoa was my light at the end.

Dr. Gassman as my surgeon was a phenomenal experience. He has incredible bedside manner. He’s empathetic and listens, but he also is very direct and factual. My procedure was both for medical reasons and aesthetic in nature. I experienced minimal pain and was surprisingly more comfortable than I thought I’d be throughout my recovery. I am smitten with my results and I’m so happy PRMA was able to work with my insurance. While aesthetics aren’t the most important after a Cancer diagnosis, they’re incredibly important to mental health outcomes. I’m truly grateful to PRMA and Dr. Gassman. I tell everyone I know that PRMA is a no-brainer and once you’re recovered - you’ll be dancing through life!

Dr. C is truly a rare gem. Though PRMA has a legacy and of employing those rare amazing physicians who are committed to the medical specialty AND to empathy for the patient from a selfless patient driven philosophy. Also the methods they have been able to perfect make the recovery from Diep Flap in particular, quicker than other practices. I can not say enough about Dr. C and the PRMA team. Run don’t walk to this practice. And the final product, exceptional. Any healthcare provider here in NC who sees the “after” comments on the beauty. This team is committed to putting women back together after cancer as better than before whenever possible.

My delayed breast reconstruction journey was a long and painful before discovering PRMA. I was that 1% patient that always seemed to have a problem, leading to 7 surgeries in a year. I did my zoom consultation after uploading my enormous medical file and felt instantly at ease with my choice to have PRMA preform the DEIP Flap. Dr. Ledoux and Jonnie were amazing at putting my fears with past issues to rest, since I was no longer a candidate for expanders/implants, DEIP Flap was looking like my last chance at reconstruction. The amount of compassion, consideration, and optimism they provided in our first meeting was outstanding and it is still continuing. I am so happy I reached out to PRMA, their work and facilities are top notch. I am beyond please and so surprised at how amazing the procedure turned out!

I cannot praise the PRMA Surgery Center enough! Their staff is professional, yet have a very kind and compassionate attitude from the front desk to the PA’s and the nurses. I was particularly fortunate to have Dr. Laura Whipple as my surgeon. When you meet her, don’t let the observation that she looks 18 years old discourage you in any way. She far exceeded my expectations with her knowledge, ability to explain details in simple terms, and her kind patience. She spent an extraordinary amount of time with me and my husband over several visits listening to our needs, concerns and questions, offering the pros and cons of all my options according to my body and the transformation I was looking for. I am a very visual person, and she drew options out for me to answer all my questions. Once we all arrived at the best choice for me, she again explained in detail both verbally and visually what the procedure entailed. I have to say this… my husband and I were blown away with my results! We didn’t think it possible, but Dr. Whipple did an amazing job, far exceeding our expectations. I would highly recommend Dr. Whipple and PRMA if you are seeking the best in breast reconstruction! K.H.

I can’t say enough good things about PRMA, Dr. Pisano and nurse Emily. On my first visit, Dr Pisano was professional, and informative. He listened to me and delivered exactly as expected and so much more. I had a double mastectomy with immediate diep flap breast reconstruction. My biggest fear was being under anesthesia so long but I was in and out so fast that I feel compelled to tell the world he’s the fastest surgeon in the South! Thank you for your great care Dr. Pisano and Emily! I’m a big fan

Dr. Nastala made the decision to do a preventative double mastectomy with DIEP flap reconstruction much easier. The way he explained everything in our first appointment confirmed that we were making the right decision. He answered questions from myself and my husband the whole time. The day of surgery he came in and was very calming and reassuring. The recovery protocol that PRMA has is genius. I took very few narcotics and was never in extreme pain from surgery. They definitely support you all the way through the recovery process.

Dr. Pisano and the team at PRMA are all amazing! I'm so glad I found yall!!!I was very nervous about having a prophylactic double mastectomy with DIEP reconstruction but Dr. Pisano made me feel comfortable. They really took care of me during my surgery. They had some difficulty with me during the surgery because of my autoimmune diseases. They communicated so much the whole time with my husband. I'm so happy with my results so far. My recovery has been so much better than I expected. I think it's due to the fact PRMA is so up to speed on their protocols like ERAS and the medication for recovery. I am just so thankful for them. I no longer have the anxiety of going for scans and I have beautiful results. Thank you so much for what you all do!!! Can't wait for phase 2.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer early 2023. I chose reconstruction using my tissue which required me to find a surgeon out of state. To say the least it was nerve wracking leaving the state to have a major surgery. I feel very fortunate and blessed to have found Dr. Ledoux at PRMA to do the DIEP flap procedure. Dr Ledoux was so very kind, considerate, he listened, and he lead us in prayer putting me and my husband at ease before I was taken to surgery. I am quit pleased and beyond happy with my results.

I would highly recommend Dr. Gassman. He definitely takes the time to talk to you and to give you options for the type of procedure you would need or like to have done. I was really impressed with the way he explained everything, and he always went over everything as needed before surgery. I was really nervous initially about surgery but because he took the time to talk to me it really made me feel calmer about everything. Definitely knowledgeable and talented. He did several of my surgeries, the last one being Diep flap. Another thing I appreciated was that he put my health first with every procedure and was able to trouble shoot as well when it was needed. He did an amazing job, and I am really happy with the results.

He is my favorite physician on my cancer care team. And probably of all time. He truly believes in the importance of patient/doctor partnership and that we as the patient are advocates for our best outcomes. RARE!! He is real. He doesn’t blow smoke. He tells you like it is which is refreshing compared to the oncology world of over promise and under deliver. Do know that the success of the nerve sparing is largely dependent on the breast surgeon he works with so trust him to pick him. My other favorite in TX is Joe Johnston. They make a great team. I came from NC. I wish all my doctors could be like these two men.

(Translated by Google) I am a breast cancer survivor. I had to drive from Memphis to San Antonio and prepare everything for my bilateral reconstruction surgery. PRMA helped me in finding the right hotel/suite to accommodating me for my post-op days. Dr Ochoa was my surgeon in a bilateral DIEP Flap procedure. My mother was with me during the pre-op and post op visit. My mother only speaks Spanish. Dr Ochoa explained everything in Spanish so she could understand the process. Dr Ochoa was very sensitive to my mother's needs. This action meant a lot to me and my mother was pleased with the information she received. have no words to express my gratitude to Dr Ochoa and his team for their excellent job. Dr Ochoa provided the best care that a woman in my condition could have. His professionalism and serenity goes to another level with high quality and standards. Savana, her nurse was extraordinary. PRMA Plastic Surgery is one of the kind centers I will always recommend to have a specialized micro vascular procedure. They were very kind, knowledgeable and professional. I felt welcomed. I have nothing but praise and gratitude to the PRMA family.

Dr. Chrysopoulo is who I CHOSE. It's one of the best decisions I ever made. This man is dedicated to perfection in his craft, but at the same time has a great bedside manner. He truly cares about his patients and sees them as human beings with intrinsic value, and will always base his decisions and actions on what's best for YOUR final outcome. I think he MUST have a degree in psychology, too, because he really helped me dig deep and deal with my diagnoses head-on, as though he had a vested interest in me personally. I loved my results. Unfortunately cancer had some more tricks up her sleeve and I ended up losing one of my beautifully reconstructed breasts due to a recurrence just a short year later, but ESPECIALLY THEN, Dr. C was an amazing partner (medically speaking, of course). A true God-send. You won't find a more ethical and talented doctor. Anywhere.

I originally visited PRMA when I was first diagnosed with BC in 2013. I had made a decision to have a double mastectomy and wait to do any reconstruction until I knew exactly what I would be facing. I wanted to prepare for everything following my surgery and find out if I was gonna have to do chemo or radiation. I ended having to do both. I had hit my 8 year mark and when back to PRMA to meet with Dr. Ledoux again and discuss options to start reconstruction surgery, I was nervous and worried to much time had passed. He immediately reassured me and gave me a plan. To this day , I am forever grateful that I met with him and that my journey started there. I am amazed at how I feel, how much confidence I have and how I now see myself. I still have a few things to finish up but it is only minor stuff now. Do not ever give up! Always believe in yourself, your journey and take time to heal after each procedure. As soon as I went to PRMA , I knew that’s where I needed to be and that I would be taken care of at every level of need. I have had the best care , Dr. Ledoux and his nurse Jonnie are some of the best people I’ve ever met on my journey. They are always quick to respond. At 48 diagnosed, reconstruction began at 57. It is never to late. I hold this place close to my heart , I believe there are angels here on earth helping us through our journey and leading us to complete healing. Do not hesitate to go visit them at PRMA!

I would highly recommend PRMA plastic surgery to any female interested in feeling better about themselves. After my mastectomy my surgeon recommended I speak to a doctor at PRMA plastic surgery. From the minute, I walked into the office and met the staff I felt very comfortable. I was very blessed to have Dr. Chrysopoulo as my surgeon, his nurse/assistant, Denise has been amazing. Even in times when I had questions and felt insecure about things, Denise immediately would email me back with all of the answers I needed. I am originally from California, and had several surgeries in Beverly Hills with some good surgeons & the best hospitals. Not one of those hospitals compared to Landmark Surgery Center. Going into surgery would always leave me feeling uneasy and nervous. However, the staff at Landmark was just as thoughtful and helpful.

A breast cancer diagnosis is life changing in every way….Navigating the unknowns, dealing with the endless tests, doctor appointments, chemotherapy and surgery. It’s draining physically, mentally and emotionally. After living in constant discomfort for a few years, I did quite some research and found DR. MINAS CHRYSOPOULO (Dr.C) at PRMA for my DIEP. On my very 1st meeting & consultation with him , I knew I had found the right surgeon who I could trust . He takes the time to listen to you and is empathetic, kind and courteous. Waking up after surgery, I knew I had made the right decision traveling cross country all the way to PRMA for this big surgery. The surgeons here do “magic” and you can tell that they have perfected this, since they do everything in their power to make it as easy as possible for the patient, all the while trying to eliminate any complication. Dr. C pays attention, sees you as a human being and not just another statistic. If you need surgery after a cancer diagnosis, there is no thinking twice. PRMA should hands down be your #1 choice. The surgeons, the nurses, PAs and the entire office staff are truly there to serve. Denise & Tabetha are very prompt with their help. THANK YOU DR.C ! You changed my life for the better and I feel whole again.

Dr. C and Denise helped me through one of the most difficult decisions of my life. Their care and compassion goes above and beyond anything I could have imagined going into this process. Even with the detailed appointments I had, I would still email Denise with questions and she was always quick to respond, I never felt like a burden. Dr. C was always there with a smile, and his ability to joke with my husband and me put us right at ease. The entire office staff were just truly amazing. I could go on and on about how PRMA changed my life. Thank you all so very much for the work you do, and the care you give us in our most difficult times!

I did quite a bit of research before choosing PRMA for breast reconstruction. After choosing them, I waited two years due to the Covid pandemic before proceeding. I travelled out of state to receive care from PRMA. Dr Ledoux and the entire staff were incredibly helpful. I was asked what results I hoped to achieve and all procedures were explained. I was so impressed with the care while in the hospital and at the office. It has now been almost a year since Phase 1 and 6 months since Phase 2 and I am so pleased with the results and feel more like myself than I have in the past 15 years.

Dr. Whipple and her team have been nothing short of amazing since I first met with them in February 2023. I was referred to Dr. Whipple by a friend who is brutally honest and she raved about the team at PRMA so I had to go take a chance myself. Dr. Whipple and Luisa have definitely made this an easy choice and have the utmost respect for what their patients want and the mental space they’re in during times of huge body changes. All I can really say is thank you.

My journey began in 2021 I was diagnosed with DCIS and the recommendation was mastectomy. The upside was Dr. Pisano at PRMA who gave me options when I was walking around for 6 months with only my right breast since the left was had been removed. After my consult with Dr. Pisano I found comfort with the removal of my right breast along with DIEP flap reconstruction. They walked me through the entire procedures And basically his nurse Emily Reinhert was my best friend for the next year. I would send her daily photos during my recovery. I feel so whole as a woman. I have never felt more confident than I do now after reconstruction. The few scars that remain (slowly fading away) are my reminder of my survival and my quest to help others not go through this battle alone. Thank you Dr. Pisano and the entire PRMA staff for making me whole again.

There are many great things to share about Dr. Chrysopoulo and his staff, however the thing I treasure the most is his ability to take an awfully terrifying situation and make it less frightening and manageable for me as a patient. I was a mental mess at my first visit and Dr C. took the time to explain everything about my care. He was patient, kind and showed great empathy. He ensured I had all the information I need to make an informed decision that was best for me. I was impressed by Dr C’s pre and post surgical care. I was up and walking the day after my double mastectomy and did not need to take strong pain medications after the first day. Dr. C and his Nurse Denise has been amazing and I am grateful for them!

I have no regrets going to Dr. C. and am beyond happy with my stage I results. In addition to Dr. C, his nurse Denise is there as a liason for Dr. C.'s patients.

I heard about PRMA from friends who had previously experienced a breast cancer diagnosis, and they referred to this group of doctors and staff as “The Dream Team.” I called PRMA immediately following my own diagnosis. In the office, I found Dr. C to be kind, respectful, informative , and a master at using his sense of humor to put his patients at ease. In the operating room, he must be a medical genius and perfectionist, with the skill and talent of an artist. The breast reconstruction journey after a bilateral mastectomy is far from easy, but with the continuous care and compassion from Dr. C and his team, my pathway to recovery has been better than I would have ever expected. They truly are “The Dream Team!”

It has been 10 years now and I am definitely going back for revisions and replacing for new ones. Thank you Dr. C and everyone at PRMA . I cant even put into words of gratitude i have for them.

Finding out I had the BRCA 1 and MUTYH mutations was scary and I knew a double mastectomy with reconstruction was in my future. After finding some facebook support groups and doing some digging, I found PRMA. My family and I made the decision to travel for the procedures and go to PRMA. I am so happy that I did. I feel like my body is still my body and I am happy when I see myself in the mirror (things I thought would be gone forever). My recoveries were much more doable than I imagined. The whole process ended up being better than I had hoped for. So glad I made the decision to travel to PRMA!

The first time I entered PRMA, I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer, as most of their patients have. At that point I was uncertain of my options, nervous, and fairly fragile. From the beginning to the end in the process, I was treated with the greatest of respect and kindness, from everyone, the receptionist, scheduling nurse, Dr. C, and Denise, his nurse who was always very patient, honest, and responsive to my questions and concerns. The care I received was wonderful and although I entered the process hopeful, I was very skeptical of the results. I am so pleased to report, thanks to Dr. C’s precision and expertise I will now feel very comfortable donning my swimsuit this summer and heading to the lake! Thanks PRMA- you are literally the BEST!

I discovered PRMA 10 years after my original diagnosis and multiple procedures, treatments, and consultations. The care I received at PRMA was the best and the results of my DIEP flap procedure are perfect. The staff are amazing and Kim is the sweetest nurse ever. Dr. Ochoa is kind and calm and delivers excellent results. I didn't think it could be done and never expected such a great outcome.

My initial appointment with Dr. Ochoa was during the time that I was still processing needing to have a double mastectomy, my demeanor was not one of openness, yet Dr. Ochoa and Kim were patient with me and moved forward at a palatable pace. Multiple emailed questions to Kim between appointments was always responded to in a timely, complete manner. If she needed to refer answers for some questions to the doctor, she communicated that she would reply soon and did so. At subsequent appointments, I brought collections of written down questions, to which Dr. Ochoa resolved in a calm manner and treated my questions (and me) with the utmost respect. His expertise as a surgeon is caring and artistic. In their hands, I was made to feel that I matter; my healing and prognosis is sound. I look forward to returning for updates.

Hi, all lovelys facing cancer and breast surgery, Ive just come from a post op visit with Dr. Chrysopoulo and his very capable caring RN Denise Campos. I am so pleased to tell you how overjoyed I am with the results of my bilateral subcutaneous breast implant restoration that Dr C performed for me! This was no small effort on his part as the original recon with subpectoral implants needed removal d/t an unsightly animation muscle deformity (who knew, Im not athletic). I'm now looking at a work that is nothing less than 'beauty' from ashes... I am so indebted to Dr. C for his compassionate caring and his time spent really hearing my concerns. He stressed it could result in a 'trade off," however, it turned out , happily, to be a "trade up' with amazing results! He understood my distress and the wrinkled implants are now gone! Before me are more natural looking, well fitted, symmetrical, overall smooth, created breasts...Dr C"s work deserves so much more appreciation and gratitude than my words can convey for his excellent surgical skills (the scar revisions he did are seamless!). What a relief and answer to my prayers,

I have had only good results with Dr. Garza and his nursing staff. He is kind and very attentive to his patients' needs. I recommend PRMA to all women who have to go on a journey as important as reconstructive surgery, from start to finish. However, if you are not able to start with PRMA until later in the process (after surgery) they will personally work with you and walk you through what can be done. They are very straightforward and inclusive when speaking with their patients and allow you to make very informed decisions with available options. Always put you the patient first!

I really appreciate Dr. C and his staff's patience with my questions and concerns. They specialize in "shared decision making" which gives patients a voice and helps us to better understand all our options. I know they are a busy practice, but I've always felt like a person and not a number. They expertly guide you through the process from A to Z all the while exemplifying the mastery of their craft with skill, care and compassion. My quality of life has been greatly enhanced from my experience with PRMA!

When I pulled into the PRMA parking lot, I was scared and thought that maybe risk reduction (prophylactic) mastectomy and reconstruction surgery was more than I was ready to do. My odds of having breast cancer were unacceptably high due to the mutated BRCA gene. However, after my first appointment with Dr. Pisano, who came highly recommended from a former patient, I was at ease and signed up for surgery! I could not be more pleased with the professionalism of Dr. Pisano, Kathleen, Amy, and the rest of the staff at PRMA. I felt confident that I had made a well-educated decision. I cannot say enough positive things about their protocol for surgery and pain management! I am delighted with the end result of the surgery. Dr Pisano delivered exactly what I had requested and we had discussed. San Antonio is a four hour drive for me, and being a patient of Dr. Pisano was definitely worth the drive!

I love Dr. Nastala, he was amazing! He did my reconstruction at the same time as my prophylactic double mastectomy and did an excellent job. He is calm, reassuring, spends as long as you need him to, and I completely trusted him. Dr. Nastala even called my oncology surgeon and oncologist to get me in the very next morning when he saw my pathology report around 4pm which showed unexpected cancer. I traveled from Dallas specifically for Dr. Nastala. Of the 5 plastic surgeons I researched in Dallas, none of them had the years of experience with DIEP flap reconstruction, their photos were nothing near as good as PRMA, and they required a much longer hospital stay. Dr. Nastala and PRMA use a totally new pain med protocol that left me virtually pain free post surgery for my entire recovery. I was up walking in less than 24 hours and went home in 2 days. I love my new breasts and they look great. Dr. Nastala is just amazing and I can't recommend his enough.

Not just my physical systems but all of me, my anxiety, my fears, my emotions, and my physical symptoms. They demonstrated patience and honesty without pressure or deadlines in helping me make the right choices for "me". Denise was always available to answer every question or concern. And the result? Just what was promised and I expected. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Dr. C and Denise.

Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo (Dr. “C”) is an exceptionally gifted and talented surgeon. The entire PRMA organization is an example of Operational Excellence, the likes I have not seen in my lifetime in any professional organization. From the first time we stepped in the door of PRMA to very last checkup, we felt a sense of partnership and belonging. Veronica was more than a patient to Dr. C and the PRMA staff, she was treated like family. My name is George Dailey and I was the primary caregiver for my wife Veronica Weaver during her fight with breast cancer. Our journey with PRMA and Dr. C started when Veronica was diagnosed with breast cancer in Feb 2019 and treatment was completed on the 14th of November 2019 with her last PRMA office visit. Veronica is whole, beautiful, emotionally healthy and eager to get on with life. All due to Dr. C and his incredible staff at PRMA. Accepting a cancer diagnosis can be extremely difficult. At our first PRMA consultation, Dr. C was able to help us get past our fears, concerns and settle down the emotional rollercoaster that we had been on for a couple of weeks. Dr. C was able to describe, in detail, the breast reconstruction options available to Veronica. At that first consultation with Dr. C and his staff, we had an overwhelming sense of certainty that Veronica and I had been directed to exactly the right place. Once Veronica came to terms with her diagnosis and understanding of the treatment options, she elected to have a double mastectomy with DIEP Flap reconstruction. Looking back on this 9-month journey we realize that the continuous (partner) support from Dr. C and his staff made us stronger and gave us the confidence to accomplish the day to day tasks to get to full recovery. Here we are nine months later, and Veronica looks amazing! Not only has she recovered physically but she is emotionally stronger. Dr. C’s “presence” and his ability to communicate with a patient and family, is in my opinion, completely instinctual. His incredible knowledge, skills and talents as a surgeon combined with his compassion and concern for the emotional well being of Veronica is like nothing Veronica or I have ever experienced. What a blessing. Some say there is no greater critic than the creator. At the final “reveal” on the 14th of Nov. I knew the smile on everyone’s face in the room was genuine. It was like an artist revealing a masterpiece. It was, and is, every bit of a masterpiece to Veronica and me. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo and the staff at PRMA for giving my wife a fresh start on a new chapter in her life. I deal with Global Operational Excellence daily and Dr. C and the PRMA team are “World Class” in every measure.

I have been cancer free for 12 years now. Because of complications and other unforeseen circumstances my reconstruction was never completed as planned. I was not happy with my reconstruction as it was not done right. Years went by and I moved to San Antonio and I was referred to Dr. Ledoux. It was the best thing that ever happened to me!!Dr. Ledoux fixed my breast by doing a diep flap and it looks amazing. I just saw Dr. Ledoux again to have nipple reconstruction. I cannot tell you what that means to me. I cried the whole time I was there (not because the procedure was painful because to my surprise the procedure was a piece of cake and not painful at all) but because I felt like I was now complete. Dr. Ledoux and Jonnie are such compassionate people and so loving and I am grateful to God that he put me in the right place at the right time. Dr. Ledoux prayed with me before the procedure and my anxiety level just dropped. Someone mentioned that they felt God's grace and that Dr. Ledoux helps spread that feeling and I couldn't agree more! I cannot wait until I am healed so that Jonnie can do the tattooing. I am so blessed to have met Dr. Ledoux, Jonnie and his entire staff. Thank you PRMA for doing what you do. I know what it feels like to have cancer and go through all this but with Dr. Ledoux as your physician you will not go wrong! I love all of you and thank you for making me feel like a woman again!!!

Amazing results from a great surgeon and his staff. My initial reconstruction was over 15 years ago and I needed a tune-up. Although I had heard of the improvements to the reconstruction process, I did not think these changes would benefit me. My thinking was incorrect. I made an appointment with Dr. Nastala who did the original reconstruction, explained my concerns, and he discussed with me his idea for the revision. I am 11 days post-op and can see the amazing results already. Because we have access to this amazing, dedicated staff and reconstruction process, I am proud of how I look inspite of the breast cancer. Many thanks!

During a time when I was frightened and confused about how to navigate through having breast cancer, PRMA was a Godsend. Everyone with whom I had contact was incredibly compassionate and knowledgeable. With the kindness, support and expertise that Dr. Ochoa and his team provided, my breast cancer experience was far less frightening. With their support, I was able to navigate the process smoothly. Everything from scheduling, financials, and consulting, through the surgery and follow up care has exceeded my expectations, providing me with the confidence that I've had the best care available. I decided to have the DIEP flap breast reconstruction and I'm happy with that decision. While it is a serious surgery, they kept me comfortable and were available for me any time I needed them. I am thankful for the blessing of having Dr. Ochoa, Crystal and the PRMA team bring me through fighting cancer to a place where I feel like a normal, healthy woman.

De. Ramon Garza was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. He explained everything about the procedure (before and after) and what to expect afterwards. Courtney his nurse was excellent and very knowledgeable. She was able to answer all questions and put me at ease about the procedure. She went step by step to make sure I understood everything before and after my procedure. PRMA is a great place to go to. Request Ramon Garza and Courtney his nurse.

I couldn't have landed in better hands then Dr. Ledoux at PRMA. Not only did I get an outstandingly skilled surgeon, but also a caring and thoughtful manner, all very important points to consider when deciding your course of action. Dr. Ledoux's nurse, Johnnie, was always attentive and accessible if needed, and the whole staff friendly and helpful. I would recommend PRMA, and specifically Dr. Ledoux, to anyone about to consider breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. I truly feel that PRMA cares about me and the journey that I had to make.

Dr. Nastala performed a bilateral breast reconstruction (of my five-year-old breast cancer mastectomy reconstruction) surgery. The needed, but not emergency surgery was due to a trauma/accident; just like most reconstruction surgeries, it was not routine. My oncologist recommended PRMA and from the first appointment with Dr. Nastala, my husband and I were very pleased with the professional, kind and respectful manner he and the entire staff displayed. Dr. Nastala and his nurse Amy addressed our concerns and answered our questions. Utilizing his outstanding knowledge and instincts, Dr. Nastala provided excellent insight into the procedure and options that were available.

January 2016 I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. I worked with a nurse navigator who educated me about the DIEP Flap procedure and Dr. Oscar Ochoa with PRMA. PRMA is the only practice in San Antonio doing this procedure. One year later I am over the hardest part of my battle and I am in full recovery. I feel very good about the progress I have made. I have nothing but excellent reviews to say about Dr. Ochoa and the procedure. I rid my body of my cancer, have perky new breasts and a tummy tuck. With Dr. Ochoa at PRMA there is a silver lining to this journey with breast cancer. It is definitely worth a consultation.

From the first time I stepped into the office at PRMA, I felt nothing but confidence in their ability to do my breast reconstruction. When I first came to PRMA, I knew I had to get my BMI down in order to be in a safe zone to have my surgery. I wanted to have the surgery badly but weight wise, I had a long way to go. However, I did lose some weight but not as much as I wanted. When I expressed my concern over the weight I didn't lose, nurse Denise and Dr. C focused and congratulated me on the weight I did lose. I truly thank God for the two of them because they have kept me encouraged throughout his journey. While these two are an awesome team, this entire facilities is awesome!!

My wife and I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about the PRMA staff and Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo. Breast Cancer is scary enough with having chemo and surgery -- but finding out that you are a genetic marker carrier (BRCA1) and need a double-mastectomy/reconstruction makes it an even heavier burden to bear. Having done a lot of research into mastectomies, reconstruction, direct-to-implant and other surgeries, we found the DIEP Flap procedure which looked like an amazing solution for her. Researching literally dozens of hospitals and clinics around America we didn't find that many surgeons that even performed the DIEP Flap procedure - and even fewer that produced good aesthetic results. In fact, some of the post op "After" pictures were pretty bad. Continued research led us to PRMA and to Dr. Chrysopoulo specifically. His patient reviews and post-op pictures looked not just good, but EXCELLENT. We traveled to San Antonio (from Colorado) to consult with him and the staff and it was a wonderful experience. Dr. Chrysopoulo truly cares about his patients and he made time to ensure that my wife (and I) fully understood the procedure, the recovery, cancer mitigation, etc. He was very kind as well as informative and he always provided answers to our questions until we were fully satisfied and comfortable with the procedure. From the bottom of both our hearts we thank you, "Dr. C", you live up to the name of RockStar!!!

I have been living with breast Cancer and the after effects for 16 years, as of this month. It has truly been a life changing experience. When I decided to pursue reconstruction, I spent years doing my due diligence by collecting information, consultations with reconstructive doctors, talking to other breast Cancer patients and so on. I still was not convinced. Finally, I received multiple recommendations from health care professionals in the community & other patients for Dr Minas Chrysopoulo, so I set a consultation. After meeting Dr C and his nurse, Denise, there was no doubt in my mind that I had found my reconstructive team. 14 months have passed, multiple procedures and a new lease on life, I know in my heart that I absolutely made the correct decision. It has been an honor to have a doctor who truly makes a difference in people's lives each and every day. Dr Chrysopoulo has always been honest & forthright with my options and possible outcomes, he is communicative every step of the way. Denise is thorough in checking in and following up in between visits and procedures. And Dr C has always made me feel important as his patient. PRMA as a practice cannot be surpassed in any other city, including our own San Antonio. I understand now why patients travel the distance to come here for reconstruction surgery that truly puts your life back together. I am blessed to have Dr Chrysopoulo, Denise and the rest of the PRMA doctors and nurses so close to home. I will never forget how forever enriched my life is for having a great doctor to take me across my finish line.

I really can't express how grateful and blessed I feel to have found Dr. Ledoux! He is an EXCELLENT surgeon, and his whole team is top notch! I had a bilateral mastectomy and breast reconstruction with silicone implants in 2011. I knew almost immediately something wasn't right. After a few years of searching for a doctor to hear me I found him. He removed my implants, one WAS leaking, and reconstructed my breast out of my own tissue. Wow, it's like I have my real ones back, couldn't be happier!

I liked how he takes his time to explain the possible procedures there is. I would recommend his services to anyone needing breast reconstruction. His nurse Crystal is also amazing..

Since the first day I met the whole staff and doctors, I knew I have the support group that can help me to through my personal battle. I had double mastectomy and had my nipples removed as well. It has been a long process to go to the resconstruction but Dr. Nasthala is a high qualify doctor who knows when my body and mind were ready to move to the next step.

My reconstruction results exceeded my expectations. I am especially thrilled with the flat belly that resulted from the DIEP flap procedure. Dr. Câ??s warmth, and patience really helped me to feel comfortable going through this very emotional process.

I have been extremely happy with PRMA. I found the staff to be very knowledgeable and courteous. Dr. Ledoux was awesome, I couldn't be happier. If I had it to do all over I would choose to have the DIEP surgery again, and recommend it to others who may be considering this surgery. My only disappointment is I would have preferred to have both my nipples and areoles removed and replaced for the cosmetics of having them be the same size and color, instead of sparing the left unaffected nipple and areola.

Words cannot express my love for everyone at PRMA. From my very first contact with PRMA, they took the fear out of the steps ahead. I am a BRCA1 carrier and chose to have a prophylactic double mastectomy with one-step reconstruction using Alloderm. I chose Dr. Chrysopoulo after interviewing many other surgeons and listening to previous clients' testimonies. I cannot thank him enough for being the kind of surgeon everyone should be fortunate enough to have. His demeanor is nothing but caring and understanding. Your voice is heard with Dr. C, his truly listens. I can say the same with the rest of the PRMA staff as well. Smiles abound in this office, they love what they do and they are there to take care of every single patient who walks through their door. I wouldn't hesitate in the least to send my BFF and even my own children to PRMA should they ever need to go through this journey. I'm so happy with my results and my recovery couldn't have gone any better.

I have completed my breast reconstruction with PRMA, and I am so pleased with the results. After receiving my diagnosis of breast cancer about 16 months ago, I had a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction using the DIEP FLAP method. My breasts are beautiful, and they look and feel normal. My doctor, Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo (Dr. C), his nurse, Denise, and all the staff here, are the best at what they do. Women from all over the United States and abroad come here for breast reconstruction. I am so grateful to PRMA for taking this journey with me.

I traveled from Kansas and Dr. Arishta completed my DIEP procedure. For a working Mom that was worn out from chemo, radiation and things gone wrong for 15 months of breast cancer, Dr. Arishta was able to make me feel like I wasn't the patient and that we were going to fix what cancer had ruined! He made sure he handled every concern I had no matter how small! With both phase 1 and phase 2, he took notes on small issues that made me unhappy even though they were so insignificant compared to the huge surgery he was doing! My follow-up visit came with questions related to how he handled my concerns! I woke up from phase1 instantly knowing the cording had been removed from under my arm and an annoying stitch from my mastectomy had been taken out! Both pretty minor compared to the overall diep but nonetheless issues that were big to me. In addition he always kept in mind that I had traveled a long distance and had three boys at home. I was so appreciative that he was always ready to let me get home!

Literally as good as it gets. Dr. Chrysopoulo is a truly lovely human being overall. And he's everything you would want in a surgeon, because not only does he have wonderful bedside manner (and a great sense of humor), but he's a perfectionist. He has a fascinating training/residency background which I was unaware of until after my reconstructive surgery but it makes perfect sense, this perfectionism. Not only am I *incredibly* pleased with his work (and professional demeanor) but my oncologist, who is old school, cannot seem to stop himself from commenting at every follow-up appointment that "he sees many breasts day in-day out, and this is some of the best work I have ever seen. Please give him my compliments..." He has said this at minimum three times, even if he wants to stop himself from saying it, I don't believe he can. And I concur, there's no other surgeon I would want to operate on me, which is saying a lot because really, who wants to need a surgeon? Ultimately I feel my reconstruction was more or less pristine. The entire PRMA operation is geared towards the comfort and healing for survivors, with a focus on living beyond your diagnosis, beyond your reconstruction, and getting back to your whole self again. I couldn't appreciate him or them more. HIGHLY recommended.

Dr. Chrysopoulo is an individual of high emotional intelligence. This translates into quality care for patients. His field and specialty in microsurgery takes years of training, dedication and education. Those combined attributes result in high patient satisfaction. I always felt like a team member in the care I received from Dr. C as well as his nurse, Denise. He performed a delayed DIEP flap procedure on me and I gave Dr. C an added challenge because I had radiation 12 years prior to the surgery he performed. He had to remove a lot of scar tissue and I am still amazed at the passion and artistry of this physician. He has a keen eye for restoring beauty and femininity to women after an overwhelming diagnosis. He is a top notch plastic surgeon as well as human being.

I was seen for consultation for adhesions and asymmetry after a lumpectomy. Even though I do not need a major reconstruction, he spent a great deal of time with me and gave detailed explanations of what he could do to help. I was afraid that my problem was too minor although it bothered me. He was very understanding. He also referred me for physical therapy. I felt very comfortable with this visit.

I definitely made the right decision in choosing PRMA and the team of Dr. Chrysopoulo and Denise for my bilateral breast reconstruction. During the process, Dr. Chrysopoulo and Denise were always generous with their time and attention. They answered every question and kept me and my family well-informed along the way empowering me to make decisions about my care. In the beginning, a breast cancer diagnosis is terrifying and life-changing. Dr. Chrysopoulo and Denise understand the physical and emotional toll the experience has on a patient and her family. We truly felt that they were on the journey with us providing the perfect balance of dedication, professionalism, compassion and even humor at times. I am happy with my HEALTHY reconstructed breasts. I don't think of my diagnosis in terms of what I've lost because of the positive perspective I gained along the way. I am a survivor! I know I am one of the fortunate ones and am beholden to Dr. Chrysopoulo and Denise for their role in my recovery.

My experience at PRMA and in particular with Dr. Chrysopoulo was outstanding. As a patient, it is important to feel that you are part of the process and that your voice is heard. Dr. C's listening skills are off the charts. He is honest, shows great integrity and work ethic and gently guides you through difficult decisions in the reconstruction process. He performed a delayed DIEP flap procedure on me and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. He doesn't "sugarcoat" the recovery process, which is difficult, but makes it all easy and understandable. He follows up and is genuinely concerned about your recovery. Kudos to his office staff and nurse, Denise. I will continue to advocate for women and recommend Dr. Chrysopoulo as the best micro-surgeon hands down, even if it means traveling to be his patient.

From our first appointment at PRMA, we were confident that I was in the best hands! Dr. LeDoux was very professional yet also warm and caring. I had prayed about finding the right doctor and God answered with Dr. LeDoux who prayed with my husband and me at the conclusion of our first appointment and before each surgery. His nurses were wonderful and got back to me in a timely manner anytime I had questions or concerns. The front office staff was warm and professional as well. I highly recommend PRMA!

The DIEP is a very complicated procedure--you want a doctor that performs this surgery with great frequency. Dr C is that person. My husband and I intereviewed multiple providers before selecting Dr. .C; we knew as soon as we left the office that he was the right surgeon for me. With his experience and coworkers, my surgery time was less than that of others. While the recovery process is significant, I am very pleased with my results. It was worth traveling across the country to have him perform the surgery. I felt completely comfortable in his care. I had no insurance difficulties either, which was a great relief.

I had both breasts reconstructed by Dr Pisano after an oncologic surgeon removed the breast tissue due to receiving a diagnosis of Stage II invasive ductal carcinoma. Dr Pisano took the time to answer all my questions, giving me all the information I needed to feel comfortable about the reconstructive process and about his expertise to do it. He is an excellent surgeon, with many years of experience. His attention to detail in the reconstruction was superior. I was in the hospital for five days, and either Dr Pisano or Dr Ochoa, who assisted in the reconstruction, followed up with me every day I am very happy to recommend PRMA - not only did I have a great experience with Dr Pisano and his staff, I've heard nothing but excellent things about all the members of the PRMA group.

I retired after 30 years in the medical field where some of my specialties were mammograms, stereotactic biopsy and working with cancer patients. There have been a lot of changes in the medical field in the last 40 years and we are lucky to have the choice of options. I had early stage of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ cancer. I did not want radiation therapy nor did I want to think about the possibility of cancer developing in the other breast. Therefore, I chose to have the Bilateral Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with immediate DIEP Flap reconstruction. My surgery experience and outcome were truly amazing. Dr. Gary A. and his staff were very professional and friendly. They patiently answered all of the questions my family and I had about the surgery and recovery. They prepared me for everything I would need pre and post surgery. My recovery was much faster and easier than I had imagined it would be. The surgery has made me feel like a woman who has had a tummy tuck with breast enhancement and not like a breast cancer survivor. The Methodist Hospital were Dr.Gary A. has chosen to do his surgeries was excellent. The staff was prompt, respectful and very polite. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Gary A. to as many women as possible because I want them to have the same amazing outcome as I did.

I live in Texas but did not know about PRMA at first. While considering my options I knew I had to go to the place with the most experience and when I Google TX and breast reconstruction I was so happy to find PRMA. I am a larger BMI woman, so my surgeon did not offer me DIEP FLAP and tried to discourage me from it. I am sort of stubborn, so I pursued PRMA and I was glad I did. They did a lot of research on healthy higher BMI women and success with DIEP FLAP. I am happy to say I sailed through. I am so glad I found PRMA. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. I did not need more stress while dealing with breast cancer.

She was knowledgeable, clear in her communication, and put me at ease as I asked all my questions. She informed me of medical possibilities I have not been able to get from my prior surgeon for the last two years. I wish I had seen her for my initial surgery.
