  DIEP Flap

  Deep inferior epigastric perforator surgery, or DIEP flap surgery, is an advanced type of natural breast reconstruction. During the procedure, tissue from the lower abdomen is used to rebuild the breast after a mastectomy. This muscle-sparing technique offers substantial benefits over earlier reconstructive techniques such as the TRAM flap method. Dr. Tandon performs DIEP flap reconstruction in New Orleans, LA. Our team at Tandon Plastic Surgery is dedicated to breast reconstruction, with a strong emphasis on natural reconstructive techniques.

  Breast Reconstruction with Implants

  For some women, getting a mastectomy is their best chance of fighting breast cancer. But despite its necessity, a mastectomy can leave a woman feeling less like herself. Patients may deal with self-esteem issues, loss of identity, or struggle with femininity. Here at Tandon Plastic Surgery in Metairie, LA, serving greater New Orleans, we're passionate about helping patients restore their breasts. For many, implant reconstruction is a positive step forward after breast cancer treatment.

  Mastectomy

  Mastectomies are one of the possible treatments you may pursue after a breast cancer diagnosis. The procedure can remove the cancerous tissue, allowing you to live a happy and healthy life. A mastectomy can also be a proactive measure. If you or a loved one is at risk for breast cancer, you can dramatically decrease the chances of a diagnosis with a preventative or radical mastectomy. It can also help you avoid the taxing symptoms of cancer, as well as the side effects of treatments like radiation therapy or chemotherapy.

  Stacked DIEP Flap

  The Stacked DIEP flap℠ is a type of natural breast reconstruction, meaning it rebuilds the breast mound using a patient's own tissue. As a modified version of the DIEP flap surgery, the stacked DIEP flap reconstructs the breast with soft tissue from the lower abdomen. However, where the traditional DIEP flap transfers this tissue as a single flap, the stacked version uses two separate flaps that are then folded on top of one another to rebuild breast volume. Compared to a DIEP flap, the stacked DIEP flap technique uses a reduced amount of abdominal tissue to rebuild the breast. This technique is usually recommended when a single flap is simply not feasible because the patient does not have enough tissue at a single donor site to rebuild the breast.
