What Is DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction?
DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap breast reconstruction is a microsurgical procedure that uses a patient’s own skin and fat from the lower abdomen to recreate the breast following mastectomy.
Key features of DIEP flap reconstruction:
- No abdominal muscle removal
- Preservation of core strength
- Living tissue reconstruction with blood vessels reconnected under a microscope
- A soft, warm, natural-feeling breast
- Permanent results without implants
DIEP flap reconstruction is considered the gold standard for women seeking natural breast reconstruction.
