Houston, TX DIEP flap breast reconstruction after bilateral mastectomy for BRCA

This patient from Houston, TX was treated for a BRCA2 gene mutation, which greatly increases her lifetime risk of breast cancer, with bilateral nipple-sparing mastectomies. At the same surgery, Dr. Chevray reconstructed both breasts with DIEP flaps. The patient wanted her reconstructed breasts to be the same size as her natural breasts, which Dr. Chevray was able to achieve. At a second minor surgery, the patient had breast lifts. She has healed and reconvered well, and is happy with her more perky breasts, and flatter belly resulting from the abdominal DIEP flap surgery.
