DIEP flap breast reconstruction surgery ~ phase 2

Creating a New Belly Button During DIEP Flap Surgery

One of the most common questions I get from women considering a DIEP flap is 👉 “Should I have my surgery before or after pregnancy?” 🤰✨ There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Timing matters. We have to think about: 🔹 How pregnancy could affect the abdominal wall after surgery 🔹 The availability and quality of tissue for reconstruction 🔹 Your personal goals and family planning timeline These are important conversations to have with your surgeon so you can make the best decision for you. 💙 #br
