I am attaching pictures to go along with a previous question about surgical correction of abdominal bulge after DIEP Flap. Pictures are not very clear but bulge is very pronounced, very firm and uncomfortable. It contracts with certain movements and tightens when I cough or sneeze. Abdomen was completely flat for 8 months after DIEP flap and bulge has gotten progressively worse in the last 7 months. Had I known this was a possibility I would have NEVER chosen the DIEP flap.
