DIEP Flap Treatment at Denova Aesthetic Clinic
Comprehensive Breast Reconstruction with DIEP Flap Treatment
At Denova Aesthetic Clinic, we offer the DIEP Flap Treatment, a sophisticated and effective option for breast reconstruction. This technique is ideal for women who have undergone mastectomy or suffered trauma and seek a natural, aesthetically pleasing restoration of their breast. DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) Flap Treatment uses your own abdominal tissue to rebuild the breast, providing a personalized and natural result.
What is DIEP Flap Treatment?
The DIEP Flap Treatment is a type of breast reconstruction surgery that utilizes skin, fat, and blood vessels from the lower abdomen to create a new breast mound. Unlike other flap techniques, the DIEP method spares the abdominal muscles, which reduces postoperative pain and speeds up recovery.
Key Aspects of the DIEP Flap Treatment:
- Natural Tissue: The procedure uses your body’s own tissue, which minimizes the risk of rejection and ensures a natural look and feel.
- Abdominal Contouring: Along with breast reconstruction, the procedure also removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, offering a secondary benefit of a flatter, more toned abdominal appearance.
- Minimized Muscle Disruption: By preserving the abdominal muscles, the DIEP flap reduces the risk of complications and postoperative discomfort.
Benefits of DIEP Flap Treatment
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Achieve a natural and symmetrical breast appearance that aligns with your body’s proportions.
- Reduced Discomfort: The preservation of abdominal muscles results in less postoperative pain and a faster recovery.
- Dual Benefit: Enjoy the added advantage of improved abdominal contouring, as the procedure also involves a tummy tuck.
- Long-Term Results: Natural tissue has a longer lifespan compared to implants, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing result.
What to Expect
- Consultation: Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with our skilled surgeons. We will evaluate your medical history, discuss your reconstruction goals, and assess your suitability for the DIEP flap procedure. We will also outline the expected outcomes and any potential risks.
- Procedure: The DIEP flap procedure is performed under general anesthesia. It involves carefully harvesting tissue from your lower abdomen and transferring it to the breast area. The procedure typically lasts several hours and may require a hospital stay.
- Recovery: Post-surgery, you will experience a recovery period that includes managing both the abdominal and breast areas. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and support to ensure optimal healing. Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few weeks, though full recovery may take a bit longer.
