Breast Reconstruction After Prophylactic Mastectomy - Austin, TX

I am the daughter of a breast cancer survivor. I have a gene mutation called BRCA2 that significantly increases my risk of developing breast cancer. Even though I am in my 20s I knew I wanted my breasts removed in order to possibly save my life. It was a huge decision and one that was filled with fear and uncertainty.  Looking back it was the best decision I could have made. I am so happy with the outcome. My new breasts are very realistic in appearance and comfortable even with my active lifestyle. I even got to keep my own nipples.

What a bold choice you made. I'm so glad to hear you feel it was worth it. Since you mentioned you were the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, I'm assuming your mom also had a mastectomy, is that correct?

congrats on going through with such a life changing decision, its very brave of you! Like you, i have a very strong family history of breast cancer, both my mom and grandmother lost their battle to breast cancer. Knowing that, i've been considering having a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and would love to go to your doctor. thanks for sharing.

So happy with my results, the Doctor, the nurses, and the facility. I lost 120lbs and felt no matter what I do, progress doesn't show. So I scheduled 5 different consults and made a decision. For all my men out there, don't scared of this. You don't have to think that you have to live with the skin. If I can ...

A Truly Positive Experience

I had a breast reconstruction by Dr Miranda in June 2025. She did a truly amazing job! She was very compassionate with me at every turn and even called me personally to answer a question I had before the surgery. She made good decisions for my surgery and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone because she...
