Insurance-Covered, Natural Breast Reconstruction by The DIEP Group – Serving All of Southern and Central Connecticut
Advanced, Natural Reconstruction — Right Here in Connecticut
At The DIEP Group, we specialize in DIEP flap breast reconstruction, an advanced microsurgical procedure that rebuilds the breast using your own abdominal skin and fat — not implants.
Our board-certified, fellowship-trained microsurgeons perform over 200 DIEP flap reconstructions every year, making our group one of the most experienced teams in the Northeast.
Women throughout Connecticut — from Greenwich to Waterbury — choose our surgeons for natural results, compassionate care, and a smooth, insurance-covered process.
Why Choose the DIEP Flap
The DIEP flap (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator flap) uses natural tissue from your abdomen to recreate a soft, warm, and natural breast. Unlike implants, the DIEP flap feels real, requires no maintenance, and lasts a lifetime.
Key Benefits
- 100% Natural Tissue – No implants or silicone.
- Permanent Results – No future replacements needed.
- Safer After Radiation – Restores healthy tissue to damaged skin.
- Flatter Abdomen – The donor site resembles a gentle tummy tuck.
- Insurance-Covered – All stages covered under federal law.

When to Consider DIEP Flap Reconstruction
Many patients come to The DIEP Group because they want a natural, permanent alternative to implants or have experienced problems after traditional reconstruction.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Had a mastectomy or double mastectomy (recent or years ago).
- Have painful or hard implants (capsular contracture).
- Received radiation therapy and want soft, natural results.
- Have recalled textured implants that require removal.
- Prefer a lifetime, implant-free solution.
Even if your reconstruction was performed years ago, you may still qualify — DIEP flap surgery is covered by insurance at any time.
