Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Oscar Ochoa

Sourced directly from Dr. Oscar Ochoa's social posts and replies.

How has insurance coverage impacted access to bilateral breast reconstruction?
Advocacy efforts have expanded insurance coverage, making bilateral breast reconstruction significantly more accessible for patients.
Is rib segment removal sometimes necessary during DIEP flap surgery, and what are the recovery expectations?
Yes, rib segment removal is sometimes needed in DIEP flap surgery. It is considered safe and standard, and helps achieve the best possible outcome. Most patients experience only mild soreness in the first few weeks, with no long-term impact on breathing or chest function.
What are potential complications and recovery expectations after flap-based breast reconstruction?
Most incisions heal well after flap-based reconstruction. However, in some cases, especially with limited blood supply, potential complications include delayed healing, wound separation, or the need for additional wound care. These complications are rare, and the PRMA team is here to support you every step of the way—whether that means simple in-office care or involving a specialized wound team. If healing takes a little longer, there are always options to refine and revise scars later on.
What are the benefits of tissue-based breast reconstruction?
Using your own tissue for breast reconstruction offers long-term benefits as it is a permanent form of reconstruction. Unlike implants, reconstructed breasts made from living tissue do not need replacement over time. These reconstructed breasts are warm, living, and because they use your own tissue with its own blood supply, they feel natural and part of your body, looking and feeling like breast tissue. For many women, this approach provides beautiful, natural-looking results that age with the body over time.
What is an important first step when exploring breast reconstruction options?
Learning about the differences between implant and tissue-based reconstruction is an important first step for those exploring their options.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$329

Payments

6

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Oscar Ochoa received $329 across 6 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Mentor Worldwide LLC.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
