Ruth

To reduce her risk of developing breast cancer, Ruth chose to undergo a prophylactic (or preventative) mastectomy. After researching all of her options, she chose to also undergo immediate DIEP flap breast reconstruction.​

PRMA was highly recommended by many, and after meeting with my surgeon, we called PRMA to set an appointment. Dr. Ochoa said I was a candidate for DIEP flap reconstruction. I wanted it done at the time of the mastectomy. I spent the next month reading everything I could about DIEP flap and early stage cancer and watching the patient testimonials, while getting used to the no caffeine or chocolate before surgery.
