DIEP flap breast reconstruction is a highly popular procedure with patients looking to recreate the breast following mastectomy. DIEP flap breast reconstruction can be an excellent alternative to implants. The procedure involves the creation of a new breast or breasts using the patient’s own tissue. The plastic surgeons at Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery perform this advanced procedure to achieve natural looking results.
Ideal candidates are patients who have had a mastectomy as well as those unhappy with a previous reconstruction procedure. The DIEP flap procedure requires a great deal of skill and precision. The surgeons at this center, Dr Sean Boutros and Dr Jason Hall, are highly experienced in reconstructive and minimally invasive breast surgery. They are focused on providing their patients with optimal results and to minimize pain and discomfort.
This innovative surgical technique has proved effective to correct issues such as congenital breast abnormalities, loss of breast volume, and breast asymmetry after a mastectomy. The procedure involves taking fat tissue and blood vessels from the patient’s abdominal area and using it to create the new breast mound. The added benefit of this procedure is that the patient gets the benefit of a tummy tuck as the tissue is harvested from the abdomen. The abdominal muscles are also preserved. Since the patient’s own tissue is used, no foreign materials are introduced into the body.
