I was diagnosed with breast cancer in August. On september 26th, 2007 I had the bil. mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using tissue from my abdomen to make the breast mounds. DIEP flap is deep inferior epigastric perforator, which describes the blood vessels harvested with the fat tissue in the abdomen. It has been about 4 months, and I am going to meet with my doctor this week to talk about adding implants. Does anyone know about this, or have any recommendations about implants. -not happy with reconstruction so far.
