I had a diep flap a year ago. If you didn't have radiation, you can have an implant, which is the easiest surgery.

The diep is a major surgery. I had a unilateral with a reduction on the other side and I am very happy with the results. I have not had any problems with having a mammogram on the reduced breast.

If you are thinking of having a diep, make sure you ask the surgeon how many he has done and his failure rate. I traveled to New Orleans for my surgery because the local surgeon had only done 50 and I was not comfortable with that.

I would be happy to answer any more questions you have about the diep.
