Patient was followed in the high risk cancer clinic for quite some time. After investigating the various types of breast reconstruction, patient decided to proceed with bilateral mastectomies with immediate reconstruction. The DIEP flap (deep inferior epigastric perforator) is a perforator flap procedure that uses fat and skin from your abdomen to create a new breast mound after a mastectomy. This procedure takes its name from the deep inferior epigastric perforator artery in your lower abdomen and is a form of autologous reconstruction. Autologous reconstruction means that your own body’s tissues are used to reconstruct the breast.
