Pros And Cons Of Minimally Invasive Diep Surgery
Your Phoenix DIEP Flap Breast Augmentation Consultation
When you choose to have a Minimally Invasive DIEP Flap Breast Augmentation you will not have the same complications after the surgery as you would have with breast implants.
This includes issues such as implant rupture, rippling, capsular contracture, or the need for multiple revision surgeries when the implants need exchanged. The autologous tissue from your abdomen will have a natural look and feel to the breast that you would not achieve with a synthetic implant, especially if you only have reconstruction on one breast. The Minimally DIEP Flap surgery does have drawbacks, as well. The surgery for this procedure is longer, and will require the removal of tissue from other areas of the body. This will mean that you will also have multiple incision points with scarring.
The good news is that your surgery is being performed by a highly-skilled plastic surgeon, who will do his absolute best to limit your scarring, and make each surgical site look as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Keep in mind that there is also a risk of infection just like with any surgery. If the DIEP Flap fails, it will require follow-up surgeries to correct the reconstruction, and may involve the use of silicone or saline implants in the place of your own tissue.
