DIEP & 4-Flap Reconstruction

Uses your own tissue from the abdomen (or multiple donor sites if needed) to rebuild soft, natural-feeling breasts while preserving muscle. Ideal for patients seeking long-lasting, natural results and symmetry.

"Dr. Delatte and his team came highly recommended by multiple trusted healthcare workers and friends. Their team was helpful from the moment you schedule your consultation and continued to be through my entire procedure. Their office was spotless and I was greeted by each employee I came across. He truly lives up to his reputation as a hardworking, respectable surgeon. I would not go to anyone else and I’m honored I was able to work with this amazing team."

Expert Guidance and Support Every Step of the Way

Recovery varies depending on the reconstruction method. Implant-based reconstruction patients often heal faster, while flap procedures may take longer. Most patients return to light activities within 2–6 weeks, with full healing over several months. Compression garments and careful incision care help protect your results. Dr. Delatte provides detailed post-op instructions and closely monitors your progress to ensure a smooth, supported recovery.
