PRMA offers patients today’s most advanced forms of lymphedema surgery and breast cancer reconstruction, including today’s ‘gold standard’ for reconstruction—the DIEP flap. The DIEP flap uses the patient’s own abdominal skin and fat to reconstruct the breast(s) after mastectomy. Likewise, advanced surgical options—such as Vascularized Lymph Node Transfer surgery—are offered to patients who have been unable to find relief from lymphedema swelling through traditional therapies.
Patients interested in scheduling their consultation can call 800.692.5565.
