- Breast Reconstruction
This 50 yo woman underwent a left mastectomy for cancer but did not want the right breast altered. The tumor was too close to the nipple to spare, so her mastectomy was skin-sparing. She initially had a tissue-expander in place, but opted for a left unilateral DIEP flap. This is a great example of how a DIEP flap, even if used on one side, can help with symmetry, as it appears very natural, and behaves and looks like a normal breast. She later had nipple reconstruction followed by 3-D areola tattooing and has a near-perfect symmetric result.
