After discovering she had a BRCA gene mutation, Carol chose to undergo bilateral prophylactic mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap breast reconstruction at PRMA Plastic Surgery in San Antonio, Texas.
“Dr. Ledoux changed my positive breast cancer gene (BRCA) diagnosis into the BEST THING that ever happened to me. He transformed my overweight upper-middle age body. He sweetly suggested, ”my results would be better if I could lose some weight.” I received the information well and followed the recommendation to an extreme! After losing about 60 pounds my second phase of surgery was a game changer. My new me motivated me to start to exercise. I now exercise at least 5 times a week. I am fit, healthy and look better than I ever have. All thanks to my reconstruction artist Dr. Ledoux.
My hero, thank you for your skill, your support and your inspiration. If you have to have cancer or the BRCA mutation he is the best possible up side ever!“
