Exaggerated love handles after Diep Flap, what can be done? (photo)

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon for some patients to have dog ears after a DIEP flap. Ideally this is avoided during the index operation in order to provide you with a flat, aesthetically pleasing abdominal contour. During revision surgery this can be excised. You can also undergo other ancillary procedures to help shape your breasts, make a nipple etc. good luck.

Thank you for your question. We call them dog ears and you can correct them with scar correction.


Respectfully,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
