DIEP flap breast reconstruction - Gallery #2

These photographs have been sourced from Mr David Pennington, with the express permission of the women who appear in these photographs.

These photographs are of a 48 year old Caucasian lady who has previously had her right breast removed. She later chooses to undergo a right sided delayed breast reconstruction using a DIEP flap from the abdomen area. This lady also chooses to have her nipple and areola reconstructed, and has breast refinement surgery on her left breast in the form of a mastopexy (breast lift).
