Removal of Implants with Bilateral DIEP Reconstruction
A medical illustration showing the anterior view of the breast and abdomen undergoing the removal of breast implants with bilateral DIEP reconstruction. This procedure encompasses removing the implants bilaterally and creating an inferior abdominal incision in order to create DIEP flaps. The flaps are then elevated to the breast region and are connected to the recipient internal mammary vessels to restore breast shape. Anatomy highlighted in this view includes the rectus abdominis muscle, inferior epigastric arteries, inferior epigastric veins, and the internal mammary vessels.
