Length of procedure and recovery

Benefits of DIEP procedure 

There are many benefits to the DIEP flap breast reconstruction:

  • Looks and feels like a natural breast
  • Spares the abdominal muscles resulting in a very rare rate of abdominal hernia
  • Scarring is hidden in the underwear line 
  • Procedure is done simultaneously with the mastectomy
  • The breast reconstruction responds to weight gain and loss the way natural breast tissue would
  • Harvesting from the lower abdomen has a slimming effect in the area
