Small correction here ...a true DIEP uses no muscle whatsoever. A Surgeon who has not performed many of them may resort to utilizing muscle which then changes the surgery to a TRAM flap.
Be wary of Surgeons who cannot tell you for certain that you will wake up with a DIEP flap...or a GAP flap etc.
I hope that you will be able to do whatever procedure you elect!
