📢 You Ask, We Answer: DIEP 👨🏻‍⚕️•
💬 • “What is a DIEP Flap”
👨🏻‍🏫 • DIEP stands for Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator
👨🏻‍⚕️ • Short Answer- In a DIEP Flap we remove the tissue from your lower abdomen that is connected to the vessels underneath and reconnect that to the chest
🙌🏼 • Using your own tissue to reconstruct the breast!
DIEP flap breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that involves using the patient's own tissue from the lower abdomen to reconstruct the breast after a mastectomy. Unlike traditional breast reconstruction methods that use implants, the DIEP flap technique offers a more natural look and feel to the newly reconstructed breast.
During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes skin, fat, and blood vessels from the abdomen while preserving the abdominal muscles. These tissues are then transferred to the chest area and shaped to create a new breast mound. Because the procedure uses the patient's own tissue, the risk of complications such as implant rejection is significantly reduced.
Recovery from DIEP flap surgery may take several weeks, and patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities during this time. However, many women find that the results of the procedure are worth the recovery period, as they can achieve a more natural-looking breast reconstruction that can help restore their confidence and sense of femininity.
