Episode 21: High Definition DIEP Flap

from DiepCJourney Podcast

High definition DIEP flap is combining the aesthetics of plastic surgery and the skill of microsurgery to optimize the donor site, the abdominal area, in breast reconstruction. Dr. Andrew Gassman of PRMA in San Antonio, Texas, sat down with me to record a Facebook Live interview for the DiepCJourney podcast. This occurred the day after BRA day, Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day 2022. This podcast is being used across other platforms, including the PRMA YouTube channel, and will also be seen on the DiepCFoundation YouTube channel. The techniques used in high-definition DIEP flaps include methods of suturing and fat grafting to contour the shape of the abdominal area. Dr. Gassman addresses what patients are candidates and the conversation he has during a consult to explain what he will be doing during a high definition DIEP and what the recovery will be like.
