Has anyone in VA had the DIEP procedure after a lumpectomy?

I had a lumpectomy on my left breast in 2001. I am considering reconstruction options. I want to reshape, add tissue to round out, and add a nipple to the left breast. I want to have a reduction on the right breast. I like what I have read about the DIEP procedure because I would like to keep my abdominal muscles to help support my lower back. Can anyone recommend a plastic surgeon in VA?
