Dr. Bryan Armijo is a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Dallas, Texas. With over 15 years in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Armijo’s primary area of expertise is breast reconstruction surgery, including autologous flap reconstruction. He also specializes in breast enhancement surgery, tummy tucks, liposuction, and mommy makeovers at his locations in Dallas, Allen, and Rowlett. And he frequently performs surgical body contouring procedures, for patients who have had significant weight loss. Patients also come to his fully accredited, state-of-the-art facility in Dallas, the EpiCentre Skin Care and Laser Center, for nonsurgical cosmetic treatments ranging from dermal fillers, Botox, and Kybella to laser skin resurfacing, and microneedling. Dr. Armijo’s ultimate goal is to help his patients find hope, self-confidence, and a sense of well-being during what may be a challenging time in their lives. At a young age, Dr. Armijo became acutely aware of how surgery not only heals a person’s body, but also improves their lives on an emotional level by helping them to feel like their best selves. Having family members who are breast cancer survivors has helped Dr. Armijo to understand at a visceral level just how powerful an impact reconstructive surgery can have on a patient’s life. After earning his Bachelor’s degree in human nutrition from Arizona State University and his medical degree at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Dr. Armijo decided to undergo training to become a reconstructive breast surgeon. He completed a plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals in Ohio. He then completed an aesthetic surgery fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. There, he also served as an assistant instructor. Dr. Armijo is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, the Dallas Medical Society, the Texas Medical Association, and the American Medical Association.
For me, Dr. Armijo's office was the right place to go after being diagnosed with cancer and expecting a double mastectomy. The Doctor and his staff make you feel comfortable from the very first step, they listen, answer questions, don't rush... I didn't have any particular requests and I just trusted Dr. Armijo with medical/aesthetic decisions because I felt his professionalism and true caring. Now, almost 2 months later, I am absolutely happy with my final result of the reconstruction. It takes a bunch of talent/art skills to make a new breast from "nothing". And it takes a big heart to take care of cancer patients, helping them look and feel good. I highly recommend Dr. Bryan Armijo and his team (Cynda, Jordan, Morgan, Brandy- you are amazing)!
After months and months of looking for the right surgeon I came across dr Armijo and I am so glad I did. Dr. Armijo performed a tummy tuck on me and I am beyond happy and SO in love with my results. The level of quality and level of detail he provides is just anazing. His office staff is Just as great! They are all so kind and welcoming and have made this whole experience so pleasant and so easy. I will be back for any and all cosmetic wants and needs.
Dr. Armijo and his wonderful staff guided me through one of the most difficult times of my life, breast cancer and reconstruction. I will be forever grateful for Dr. Armijo’s concern and care throughout this process. In addition, I am truly amazed at the outcome of my reconstruction. After my last surgery, tears of joy is the only way I can describe how I felt. The final result of the reconstruction is more than I could have hoped for. In addition, Dr. Armijo and his staff are extremely professional. Dr. Armijo has a positive and caring bedside manner which everyone knows is not always the case when dealing with a medical professional. I also want to add that I am thankful for Dr. Armijo’s overall knowledge of breast cancer and reconstruction. I could ask questions and his knowledge was informative and accurate. I highly recommend Dr. Armijo and his staff!
I first met Dr. Armijo at the most difficult time of my life. I was diagnosed with breast cancer, was going through chemotherapy and had lost my son to suicide, all within 7 months. I was scheduled to have a bilateral mastectomy and was referred to Dr. Armijo for reconstruction. Cancer and all that comes with it is terrifying and full of uncertainty but after meeting Dr Armijo, the one thing that I was certain of was that I would have the best possible outcome with my reconstruction! From the first moment of stepping into his office, I was afforded the very best care! His staff is so warm and caring and I was at ease immediately. I met with Dr. Armijo and his genuine compassion mixed with his confidence took away my fear and anxiety. I had bilateral Diep Flap surgery in May 2022 and then revision with implants in October 2022. I had looked at so many pictures of Diep Flap surgeries and thought I knew what might be would look like but I have to say that my results are much better than any of the pictures and exceeded my expectations by a lot. Dr. Armijo is not only a great surgeon, he is an artist! I consider myself so fortunate to have Dr. Armijo, Cynda, Jordan and Morgan in my corner!
I found Dr. Armijo to be very competent and a truly caring physician. He was patient, kind, and answered all of my questions. I am one week post-op and everything is going great. I am so glad I selected him to take care of me. I also wanted to comment on his staff. They are great! Very caring and responsive to my questions throughout the pre and post-op time-frame.
I cannot express the love and care that Dr. Bryan Armijo and his team gave me throughout this whole process. I went through insurance and it only took about 3 month. The amount of times I called with questions, I am sure was enough to make them irate but they assured me that it was not a problem. They were all so sweet, caring, and helping. From consultation, pre-op, surgery, to recovery, I could not have had a better experience of care or professionalism. I am only almost 3 weeks post op and I feel like a brand new person.
I had a great experience with Dr. Armijo and his staff. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease throughout the entire process. I'm loving my results! I'm so grateful!
I have been experiencing back and neck pain for years due to large breasts. I consulted with three doctors and Dr. Armijo was the only doctor that listened to my concerns and was able to keep my nipple attached. This was my number one priority and he stayed true to his word. Let’s start with the staff! Wow! Cynda, Jordyn and everyone was so kind! They are professional, courteous, on top of all paperwork and they were a joy to work with!The consultation was a wonderful experience! Dr. Armijo listened, wrote down my concerns, told me what was possible and they were able to schedule me quickly! As the date approached, the office staff was extremely helpful with payments, what’s owed and what to expect. Day of surgery everything was on time! Dr. Armijo came to my bedside, comforted me, made me laugh and reassured me everything was going to go great! My procedure was amazing! The final product, wow.My breasts went from an I cup to a DD. They are lifted and I’m already feeling the weight off my neck and lower back. My breasts are beautiful and I’m so grateful for Dr. Armijo and his entire staff! Recovery was much better than anticipated. The drains can be a lot but just make sure you’re walking as soon as you can and drinking lots of water! Please book with them for all your plastic surgery needs! What an amazing experience!
I had breast reduction surgery on March 15, 2020. Dr. Armijo and his staff are awesome. This surgery has improved my life tremendously. No more shoulder pain and it’s much easier to find clothing that fits correctly. I highly recommend Dr. Armijo and breast reduction. I am 64 and wish I had done it sooner but better late than never. Updated on 18 May 2021: Every day is better since my breast reduction surgery. No pain from surgery or from bra straps. Scars are healing nicely and swelling is almost gone. I am so glad I finally did this. Dr Armijo did an excellent job and his staff is awesome.
Dr. Armijo and his team are so professional! They genuinely care about each of their patients! Dr. Armijo gave me my confidence back and I cannot thank him enough! I can finally stand in front of the mirror and feel beautiful again! The first day I was able to remove my bandages I stood looking in the mirror and cried because I was so happy with the outcome! Choose Dr. Armijo for all of your cosmetic surgery needs! I recommend him to all of my family and friends! Thank you again Dr. Armijo for all you have given me!
Your scars seem to be healing well so far! Scars mature up to 12 months, there are many things to aid in scar healing at this time in your recovery. I would recommend laser treatments if the pigmentation is your main concern. Best of luck!
Pricing for a tummy tuck varies between geographical location and surgeon to surgeon. I would recommend calling plastic surgeon offices in your area and asking for price estimates for a tummy tuck in order to get the most accurate estimates!
I advise my patients to wear compression for 4-6 weeks following this surgery. However, every surgeon has different recommendations and I would follow what your specific surgeon recommends.
Based on your photos you do not appear to have enough skin laxity to undergo a traditional tummy tuck. However, the skin above your belly button could be addressed by removing the excess skin which would require a scar above your belly button. I would recommend seeing a board centerfield plastic surgeon for a consultation.
I would suggest using hydroquinone to help with the hyperpigmentation of your scars. They also may fade over time since being 3 months out they are still healing.
