Some good information but unlike the TRAM Flap, which directly harvests the abdominal muscle, DIEP Flap surgery leaves the abdominal architecture fully intact.

i had a total mastectomy ten years ago and a tran flap reconstruction nine years ago no problems since.

Worse comes to worst to go for a reconstruction is really a woman's choice of medical and not a cosmetic surgery for boosting her body image and self esteem. Last but not least, whether breast reconstruction after a mastectomy will affect a woman's tummy muscle or severe side effect in the future is an important decision to consider.
I would appreciate if someone can solve my above question here, thank you.
