What abdominal results can patients can expect after DIEP flap breast reconstruction? Breast Advocate founder Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo and DIEP C Foundation founder Terri Coutee discuss in this video.
The DIEP flap surgery uses a patient's lower abdominal skin and fat to reconstruct a breast following a mastectomy. The final abdominal scar and abdominal aesthetics are similar to that of a tummy tuck, but has mentionable differences as discussed in this video.
