Effective DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction in Texas Houston Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery, an established accredited plastic surgery center in Texas, is offering comprehensive DIEP Flap breast reconstruction solutions to help women restore breast contour. The procedure can resolve conditions such as congenital breast abnormalities, loss of breast volume or breast asymmetry after a mastectomy. This technique uses the patient’s own tissue and fat from the abdomen for reconstruction, resulting in softer and more natural looking breasts than with implants.

In addition to a natural looking outcome, this method offers many advantages: - Avoids implant-related risks - The abdominal muscles are not touched and so the risk of hernia, bulges, and core weakness is minimal - The removal of fat tissues from the abdominal area offers the effects of a
