DIEP Flap (natural tissue) Breast Reconstruction: Case 9 - DIEP flap breast reconstruction after double mastectomy. Breast lift technique. Nipple Sparing

Description

This patient underwent a nipple preserving double mastectomy and DIEP flap breast reconstruction. She then had a second stage revision or part two where we performed a breast lift and fat grafting from her abdomen to give her an improved cosmetic shape, size and appearance of her breasts and belly and achieve a 'mommy makeover' look. Our goal after breast reconstruction is to achieve a result in which you cannot tell that you had a mastectomy. A result that maximizes the aesthetics ands helps you look better than before . Notice how the scar on her belly is kept low so that it can be hidden by her underwear or bathing suit just like it would be in a tummy tuck. A high scar is a common complaint of many woman who have had a DIEP flap procedure with other techniques.
