After learning she had breast cancer, Paloma chose to undergo a bilateral mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap breast reconstruction. She shares her experience in this video.
The DIEP flap is the most advanced form of breast reconstruction available today and is the preferred reconstructive technique at PRMA.
The procedure uses the patient's own abdominal skin and fat to reconstruct a natural, warm, soft breast after mastectomy. Unlike the TRAM flap, the DIEP preserves all the abdominal muscles. Only abdominal skin and fat are removed similar to a "tummy tuck". Saving the abdominal muscles means patients experience less pain, enjoy a faster recovery, maintain their core strength long-term, and have a lower risk of complications.
