Cosmetic DIEP Flap Procedures with Dr. Sean Boutros

Houston Breast Surgery Specialist Dr. Sean Boutros is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and an expert in The All Me Augmentation™ Procedure (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator [DIEP] flap surgery). DIEP flap breast surgery has traditionally been a reconstructive procedure for patients who have undergone mastectomy, but Dr. Boutros is revolutionizing cosmetic breast surgery by using DIEP flap methods to provide patients with all natural breast augmentation. Cosmetic DIEP flap breast surgery allows patients to have beautiful, natural-looking breast augmentation without breast implants. This technique uses a patient’s own tissue, harvested from the abdomen, to reshape the breasts. Dr. Boutros offers several breast augmentation options with enhanced recovery and less pain at his Houston practice.

Cosmetic DIEP Flap Breast Augmentation

Many women would like fuller breasts, but do not wish to have breast implants due to safety concerns or personal preference. Cosmetic DIEP flap breast augmentation can deliver results that are more effective than other breast augmentation alternatives, such as fat transfer, without the risks of breast implants. Cosmetic DIEP flap breast augmentation is also an option for patients who would like to have breast implants removed due to complications such as capsular contracture, as this procedure can resolve that condition while allowing patients to maintain full breasts.

Benefits of Breast Lift and Augmentation with DIEP Flap

There are many aesthetic benefits of a breast augmentation combined with a mastopexy procedure, and patients can see further benefits when the augmentation is performed with a cosmetic DIEP Flap approach. The benefits of an augmentation with lift include fuller, more youthful-looking breasts that sit higher on the chest with improved cleavage.

However, traditional augmentation and lift involves combining mastopexy with breast implant placement, which presents an increased complication rate.1 Many surgeons will perform augmentation and lift as two separate procedures, rather than a combined procedure. Cosmetic DIEP flap augmentation eliminates many of the risks of single stage combined augmentation and lift because your own tissue is used rather than implants. Studies show that more than 15% of patients who have breast lift surgery with implants will experience complications, which can include capsular contracture or infection of the implant.2 Dr. Boutros can confidently perform lift and augmentation as a single combined procedure because there is zero chance of implant-related risks or complications.

An additional benefit of breast lift and augmentation with cosmetic DIEP flap is that your own tissue is harvested from your abdomen. This living tissue with blood vessels and blood supply intact is more effective than a simple fat transfer method. It also gives you an opportunity to remove excess fat from the abdominal area so you can enjoy a leaner midsection in addition to fuller breasts. Dr. Boutros can repair separated abdominal muscles and use liposuction to contour your waist at the same time if needed.

What to Expect From DIEP Flap Breast Augmentation with Lift

Preparing for Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery

If you are considering breast lift surgery and you would like to also have breast augmentation without implants, then the first step is a consultation appointment with Dr. Boutros. He will take the time to discuss your goals and your medical history and answer any questions you have in order to help you determine if breast lift and augmentation with cosmetic DIEP flap is right for you. If you schedule surgery, Dr. Boutros and his team will provide you with detailed pre-operative instructions. Consultations can either be done in the Houston office or online via a televisit.

Augmentation Mastopexy Surgery

Dr. Boutros performs surgery in a specialized surgical center that is optimized for DIEP flap procedures and you will be under anesthesia during surgery. Dr. Boutros will begin by removing tissue and fat from your lower abdomen. He will then remove excess skin from the breasts and add volume using your own living tissue. Your breasts will be repositioned and reshaped in accordance with your personalized treatment plan to meet your goals for a more youthful-looking appearance.

Recovery After Breast Lift and Augmentation With Cosmetic DIEP Flap

Dr. Boutros has performed thousands of DIEP flap procedures for breast reconstruction patients, and he has perfected techniques and published his findings for methods that allow patients to have a quicker and easier recovery after DIEP flap surgery.3 Patients typically stay one night in the specialized DIEP flap center before recovering at home or a nearby hotel. You can expect to resume typical activities, but with restrictions on heavy lifting, exercising, or other strenuous movement for two weeks after surgery. Patients can generally resume most regular activity approximately four to six weeks after surgery.

Dr. Boutros has pioneered advanced techniques that have been proven to allow DIEP patients a quicker and easier recovery.
