DIEP Flap Surgery Best for Natural Breast Reconstruction Results?

December 24, 2008
Asked By:

There's a possibility I may need to have a mastectomy, so I have been looking into which breast reconstruction procedure would be best for giving me the most natural-looking new breasts. I read that the DIEP flap surgery is new and much more expensive than other breast reconstruction surgeries because it gives the best result.  Is this true? I want to know which breast reconstruction procedure the doctors think is best?
