I had the DIEP flap done in 2007. When I went to have it done i only had mastectomy on my right breast. They did a skin sparing 0n my second breast during my DIEP surgery. If you don't have enough tissue in your belly , they can take from your glute (behind) You can look at the site where i had mine done. www.breastcenter.com they have a photo gallery also. Love the doctors there. I traveled from Indy to New Orleans for the DIEP flap. Have many, many friends here that went there. Best of luck to you!
