Breast Reconstruction DIEP Flap Case #26029

Description:

These before-and-after images highlight the reconstructive journey of a 52-year-old patient who underwent a staged approach to breast surgery. The process began with a breast reduction to improve breast size and shape, followed by nipple-sparing mastectomies. Final reconstruction was completed using DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap breast reconstruction, which uses the patient’s own abdominal tissue to create a natural-looking breast mound.

The after photos demonstrate restored breast volume, improved symmetry, and preservation of the nipple–areola complex, with results that reflect a natural contour and soft appearance. This case illustrates how a carefully planned, multi-step surgical approach can support both oncologic safety and aesthetic outcomes while using the patient’s own tissue for reconstruction.
