After a failed implant that never healed well and finally was removed after a major infection, I have to look at other options now. I was supposed to have the Latissimis Dorsi procedure in November, but I'm getting cold feet due to current upper back/neck pain and slight scoliosis. I don't want to mess around with an already compromised back/spine. I was told I don't have enough fat for DIEP, but at one point I remember my PS said maybe he could still do DIEP, but then I'd still probably need an implant. I'm 5'2" and 110 pounds, so not much belly fat, but there is tiny bit. I have an appt to see him on Friday and want to come armed with as much info as I can get by then.

I'm looking for anyone who has had a DIEP procedure at a SoCal Kaiser. My PS is at the Kaiser Downey, but I'm close enough to the Anaheim, Irvine, or LA facilities if needed. Does anyone have a recommendation or info to share to help me with this?
