DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction

DIEP flap breast reconstruction is an advanced procedure utilized to recreate the breast after mastectomy. This breast reconstruction surgery that provides soft, more natural looking breasts is offered at Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery. Our plastic surgeons have extensive training and experience in providing this surgical procedure and are dedicated to each patient’s wellbeing.

Dr. Sean Boutros and Dr. Jason Hall of the Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery are known for their expertise in DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap breast reconstruction. It is a procedure that involves taking the patient’s own tissue and fat from the tummy area and using it to create a new breast mound after a mastectomy.  For the DIEP Flap, only the overlying skin, fat and blood vessels are removed, and the abdominal muscles are not touched, keeping muscle strength in tact.

With this innovative surgical technique, you can correct

• Congenital breast abnormalities
• Loss of breast volume
• Breast asymmetry after a mastectomy

What You Stand to Benefit

DIEP flap surgery provides the benefit of a tummy tuck, as the tissue is harvested from the abdominal area. The other advantages are:

• No foreign materials are introduced into the body
• Less pain
• Short recovery time
• Short reconstructive process
• More realistic breast texture
