I had the Diep procedure and I'm thin with not a lot of fat. My surgeon asked me to gain weight and I added 11 pounds before surgery. I have a small breast from Diep which was fine with me since I had DD before and 6 months later my other breast was reduced in size. A lot of mds won't do Diep on thin people but I was lucky to find a surgeon who had no problem helping me.
