Could Not Have Made a Better Decision!
Dr. Trahan is top knotch and has given me my confidence back 100%! He is truly one of a kind. I have a brca2 genetic mutation and chose to have a preventative mastectomy, followed by reconstruction immediately after (diep flap procedure) I chose to travel from California to New Orleans because I wanted to seek care from an experienced surgeon (and mainly I didn't want to lose my nipples or have to have expanders-and then implants). Dr. Trahan exceeded every expectation I ever

Dr. Trahan is a wonderful caring person
Dr. Trahan is not only a skilled PS who was able to make me look better than I looked before my double mastectomy, but he is also a wonderful caring person who wants to help his patients feel whole again. The procedures he performs are very tedious and complicated. The risks are explained before surgery. I have had a great outcome and have no regrets for going through the 3 surgery (for me) process. It is not for the weak of heart it does involve pain and a lot of recovery time.
Should Have Gone to Dr. Trahan First!!
I found Dr. Christopher Trahan to be a gifted surgeon & a very caring human being. I went to him mutilated & in pain after 12 unsuccessful surgeries by my local surgeons. During my first surgery with him, he & a colleague he had called in to assist spent approximately 7 hours finding & repairing a myriad of issues from my chest to my groin both externally & internally. The worst of these were 3 hernias, one of which would surely have killed me had I waited

Dr Trahan An Amazing Surgeon
I was diagnosed with Ductile Carcinoma In Situ DCIS Stage 0 in March of 2018. I chose to have double bilateral breast reconstruction because I could just not handle having to go through the mammogram process the following year. It was a huge decision, but I knew once I met the surgeons, I wanted a double bilateral. A friend of mine told me about The Breast Center and I called and set up a Consultation with two wonderful surgeons Dr. Christopher Trahan and Karl Orydone
I was diagnosed with two different cancers in my right breast Feb 5,2015. After second opinions with surgeons and 2 ps, I have decided to have both breasts removed with delayed reconstruction. Since I had a tummy tuck previously, that type of reconstruction was off the table for me. It is my plan to have expanders placed in April but I am worried about living with implants vs my own tissue. Still working through this decision. Updated on 29 Mar 2015: Four days post and I'm

DIEP procedure: Disappointing
I had high hopes but I left looking ridiculous and they want me to pay for more surgeries. I thought Dr. Trahan was my surgeon but later found out a PA handled a lot of the operation, and Dr. Trahan wasn't available to see me afterwards either. i had the DIEP procedure and my stomach is a balloon. I have to fight tooth and nail to get anyone on the phone.

Damages beyond repair and disfigured
After my surgery in November of 2018 I ended up staying in the hospital for 13 days and had a open wound from the DIEP flap on my belly. Dr. Trahan let me sit for months like this after blowing me off about setting up a Debridement & closer of the wound 2 months after the surgery. No other doctor would touch me after I had to seek wound care on my own. I had no choice but to go back to Dr. Trahan to close my belly. He left me with damages beyond repair and disfigured. Not
Pancake

I wouldn't believe the hype.
I wouldn't believe the hype. I know some women have good experiences at this hospital, but others don't and they treat them horribly. My surgeon was Dr Trahan. He wanted to cancel my surgery the day before, after sellling me on it for a year and me planning my life around it, because he had a "vibe" and "works on instinct." Everything is incredibly confusing with him like that. He also discussed my case with another patient which is a violation. He pushes a lot of propaganda and
