Kelsey's DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction Experience At PRMA

“From my first appointment with Dr. Nastala to the ladies calling me over the phone, everyone was so amazing and so welcoming through the whole process,” shares Kelsey.
The DIEP flap is the most advanced form of breast reconstruction available today. It is also the preferred technique at PRMA. It uses the patient's own abdominal skin and fat. The tissue is used to restore a natural, warm, soft breast after mastectomy. Unlike the TRAM flap, the DIEP preserves all the abdominal muscles. Only skin and fat are removed. The tissue is removed similar to a "tummy tuck." Saving the abdominal muscles means patients have less pain. Patients also enjoy a faster recovery. They are able to maintain core strength long-term and have a lower risk of abdominal complications. Learn more about this procedure at bit.ly/2RqtQmh.
PRMA is the only center in San Antonio, Texas and one of only a handful of centers worldwide to provide breast reconstruction on such a large scale. Our surgeons treat patients from across Texas and the US, as well as international patients. We are proud to have a tremendous global reputation for breast reconstruction excellence.
There are many reconstructive breast surgeons in the United States. However, very few perform DIEP flap routinely due to the technical difficulty of the surgery. To date, our surgeons have performed thousands of microsurgical breast procedures. We are proud to perform over 700 DIEP surgeries every year. Our success rate is over 99%.
