DIEP Flap Reconstruction
DIEP (deep inferior epigastric perforators) flap reconstruction is an advanced reconstructive procedure using a woman’s own skin and fat tissue from her abdomen to reconstruct the breast. Using the DIEP technique, Dr. Diaz connects the arteries from the harvested abdominal tissue to those in the chest so that there is adequate blood supply.
The DIEP technique has become more popular because it does not use foreign matter to reconstruct new breasts and results in more natural feeling and looking breasts. The DIEP flap procedure also avoids using abdominal muscles making the recovery easier. On top of this, the benefits of a tummy tuck also factor into the procedure allowing patients to diminish or flatten their abdominal area.
It is worth noting that Dr. Diaz is one of only three plastic surgeons in the state of Mississippi to perform the innovative DIEP flap reconstruction.
