DIEP reconstruction.

jilly17

Hello, I'm new to this but here goes. I will be having a DIEP procedure and have been tod that because my abdominal blood vessels are numerous but small they will probably have to take a bit of muscle as well as the flesh.

I am worried about the side effects of using muscle and possibility of hernia. Cam anyone advise?

Thanks
