Breast Reconstruction After Cancer – Dr. Chrysopoulo
Breast reconstruction offers real hope and real options following breast cancer and mastectomy. Plastic surgeon Dr. Chrysopoulo (Dr “C”) explains the procedures and options available to women who have undergone a mastectomy. Dr. C offers up advice for those who are at risk of, living with, or have survived breast cancer.
Dr. C is the creator behind The Breast Advocate App, which was designed to offer more information about treatment options.
Dr. Chrysopoulo (Dr “C”) is a board certified plastic surgeon, breast reconstruction surgeon and microsurgeon, and President of PRMA Plastic Surgery in San Antonio, TX. He specializes in state-of-the-art breast reconstruction with a particular focus on perforator flap breast reconstruction, nipple-sparing mastectomy, techniques to maximize aesthetic outcomes, and restoring sensation after mastectomy.
Dr C is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, is an active member of several professional societies including the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery (ASRM), and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) for which he serves on several educational committees. He has authored and co-authored several book chapters and scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals, and is routinely an expert speaker at regional, national and international academic meetings.
Dr C has dedicated his professional life to advocating for breast cancer patients. He strongly believes that shared decision-making between the physician and patient is crucial in achieving the best outcomes and has built his practice on this philosophy. To empower as many patients as possible to advocate for themselves, Dr C created the Breast Advocate® App, a free app that provides anyone with a breast cancer diagnosis, or at increased risk of developing breast cancer, a much needed voice in their breast cancer treatment planning.
