What is DIEP Flap Reconstruction?

The DIEP Flap procedure is a type of breast reconstruction surgery popular for its long lasting natural results. Utilizing the patient’s own abdominal skin and fat, intricate ‘microsurgery’ techniques are deployed to create a natural-looking breast mound, thus avoiding the need for an implant.

“DIEP” stands for deep inferior epigastric perforator, which is the name for the primary blood supply to the specific area of fat and skin in the lower abdomen. A DIEP Flap procedure is a modern version of the more traditional muscle-sparing free TRAM Flap. However, the DIEP Flap technique does not require the use of muscle to create the breast.

How is the DIEP Flap Procedure Performed?

During DIEP flap surgery, the fat, skin, and blood vessels from the lower abdomen are taken to rebuild a breast mount on the chest. Microvascular surgical techniques will be used to skillfully reattach the blood vessels from the DIEP Flap tissue to the chest vessels. The outcome is a warm, soft mound that will last a lifetime.

The Benefits of Choosing DIEP Flap

DIEP Flap offers a host of benefits, which include crafting a natural-looking breast that is created from the patient’s own tissue. This means that implants can be avoided, and overall, less surgery is needed in the long term. Many patients choose this option for that reason, to avoid future surgery and avoid implant monitoring.
