I have seen several patients recently after immediate breast reconstruction with a DIEP flap.  i am always impressed at how natural the appearance of the flap is in relationship to the other breast.  Many times I care for patients in other communities such as Greenbay, Sheboygan, Two Rivers, Appleton, and Madison, Wisconsin after mastectomy.  Many patients travel to have these procedures done at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin.  There is an entire team devoted to women with breast cancer.  Our goal as Plastic Surgeons is provide all available breast reconstruction options to each patient.  Many of our patients choose the DIEP flap because of our experience with the procedure.  We having been performing this procedure routinely over the past five years at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin.  Whether we need to perform simultaneous reconstruction of bothe sides or perfor a stacked or double diep flap on one side we have the team available.
