I had reconstruction following my bilat mastectomy. I had the DIEP flap reconstruction which is similar to the TRAM flap but spares the muscle. I had my final surgery for this a wk ago and I could not be happier. I just absolutlely love my body and the work that has been done and it has not even fully healed yet from the revision.
I am from Hawaii, but I had my mastectomy and DIEP flap reconstruction done in So California.
