DIEP Flap Case #27227

Description:

This gallery showcases the transformative results of a DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap breast reconstruction in a 40-year-old patient. The before photos illustrate the patient’s appearance prior to reconstruction, following mastectomy. In the after images, you can observe the natural-looking breast contour achieved through the use of the patient’s own abdominal tissue, preserving muscle structure while restoring volume and shape.

This case highlights the DIEP flap’s ability to provide long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing results with minimal donor site morbidity. The after photos also demonstrate the improved abdominal contour — a secondary benefit of the procedure, similar to a tummy tuck.

Results vary by individual, but this patient’s outcome reflects a successful balance of function, form, and symmetry. All images are shared with patient consent and intended for educational purposes.
