12 Days After DIEP Flap Reconstruction | Danae's Experience

Only 12 days after her DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction surgery, Danae shares how great she is feeling! Thanks to our Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, our patients are experiencing less pain and healing faster after surgery.

The DIEP flap 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.

PRMA specializes in microsurgical breast reconstruction and performs over 600 DIEP flaps per year. Patients are routinely welcomed from Texas, throughout the US, and across the World.

We are in-network for most US insurance plans and we do not balance bill.
