Overview
Our surgeons offer comprehensive, state of the art breast reconstruction techniques for patients undergoing cancer treatment, as well as, congenital and acquired breast deformities.
We are proud to be the only facility in Central Florida offering microvascular reconstruction with the Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator (DIEP) flap.
This complex procedure utilizes the excess skin and fat from the abdomen (tummy tuck) to sculpt a natural breast, completely sparing the abdominal muscles. Our plastic surgeons are among an elite group of surgeons utilizing a team approach to perform this procedure efficiently and with a high rate of success.
DIEP is a state-of-the-art procedure that uses excess tissue from a patient’s abdomen to sculpt a new, natural breast. This complex, yet superior procedure, is made possible through microsurgery. Benefits include:
- Less pain
- Shorter recovery
- Uses patient’s own tissue
- Preserves abdominal muscles
- Softer, more natural breasts without implants
- Covered by insurance
- Lower risk of abdominal complications with decreased risk of hernia
- No mammograms required after reconstruction
- The possibility of one-stage reconstruction
