Just wondering if anyone in the BC lower mainland area has had DIEP reconstruction?  Are you pleased with the results?  If so, please let me know about your experience and where you had it done.

    Bee, I'm 3.5 years post bilateral DIEP. The results were fantastic, although it is a long surgery and recovery. I had it in Vancouver. There are a number of PS in the lower mainland who are very good at DIEP, Peter Lawson & Sheina Macadam are very experienced.



    Heather, hang in there, it does get better. Go to the reconstruction forum, you'll get plenty of support there. Feel free to PM me if I can help.



    Cheers, She
