DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction Before & After Gallery
The DIEP Flap procedure truly revolutionized breast reconstruction surgery when it was introduced over 20 years ago. Up until that time, women’s best options for breast reconstruction involved the use of implants. The most common perforator flap for breast reconstruction is the DIEP. This procedure uses the patient’s own extra skin and fat from the lower abdomen to reconstruct the breast. The advantage of the perforator flap is that the skin and fat is removed without any muscle sacrifice.
