DIEP Flap Case #139
Description:
This gallery highlights the natural, restorative results achieved through DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap breast reconstruction. In these images, the patient’s “before” photos were taken prior to surgery, following their mastectomy. The “after” photos show the healed results once recovery was complete.
The DIEP flap technique uses the patient’s own abdominal tissue—while preserving the abdominal muscles—to create a soft, natural-feeling breast. These photos demonstrate the improvement in contour, symmetry, and overall breast shape made possible through this advanced microsurgical approach.
Every patient’s anatomy, healing process, and surgical plan are unique. The results displayed here are provided with the patient’s consent and are intended to help others understand the range of realistic outcomes that can be achieved with the DIEP flap procedure.
