In the dynamic realm of cosmetic surgery, innovation continually drives improvements for patients seeking enhancement and reconstruction. One of the most groundbreaking advancements in breast augmentation and Mommy Makeover surgeries is the DIEP Flap procedure, offered in our Metairie, Louisiana, office by Dr. Daniel Womac.
Patients from Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Covington, New Orleans, and beyond get to experience this cutting-edge technique. Learn more about what you can expect below.
What Is a DIEP Flap Procedure?
At its core, the DIEP flap procedure involves the transfer of skin, fat, and blood vessels from the lower abdomen to the chest to reconstruct a breast mound. Unlike traditional methods that utilize implants or muscle tissue, the DIEP flap technique preserves the body’s natural integrity, resulting in breasts that not only look but also feel remarkably authentic. It’s a testament to the artistry and precision of modern surgical innovation.
While DIEP flap surgery initially gained recognition for its role in breast reconstruction after mastectomy, its evolution into a cosmetic procedure has opened doors to a world of possibilities. Imagine undergoing a transformation that not only enhances your breasts but also provides the added benefit of abdominal contouring, similar to a tummy tuck.
What Is Included in a DIEP Mommy Makeover?
A DIEP Mommy Makeover, similar to a traditional Mommy Makeover, combines procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, liposuction, and possibly others. However, what distinguishes it from a traditional Mommy Makeover is its innovative approach to breast augmentation, eliminating the requirement for implants.
Your Surgical Experience
Unlike traditional methods reliant on implants, a DIEP Mommy Makeover harnesses your body’s own abdominal skin and fat obtained during a tummy tuck to augment your breasts. This technique not only provides a more natural look and feel but also serves as a viable alternative for individuals who either prefer not to have breast implants, are unable to undergo implant surgery, or have faced complications associated with breast implants.
Are You a Good Candidate for a DIEP Mommy Makeover?
The target demographic for cosmetic DIEP procedures is diverse, encompassing individuals seeking various forms of breast enhancement or breast reconstruction. Whether you’re a candidate for a mommy makeover, someone desiring breast augmentation, a patient who has encountered challenges with previous implant-based procedures, or even a transgender individual seeking feminization through breast augmentation, the cosmetic DIEP procedure offers a promising solution tailored to your unique needs.
