A Breast Reduction Technique for the Free DIEP Flap Post Breast Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Breast flap remodeling is a common procedure after breast reconstruction. We present a unique approach to breast reduction using a superomedial pedicle inverted "T" technique in patients with previous free deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction, not previously reported. Breast reduction can be a valid option for reshaping breasts after free DIEP flap reconstruction. Breast reduction using the superomedial pedicle inverted T technique is performed in patients who have undergone free DIEP flap breast reconstruction. The superomedial pedicle inverted T breast reduction technique in breast reconstruction with free DIEP flaps seems promising, as the reduced DIEP flaps survived.
