I am happy with my diep flap I couldn't stand the feeling of he expanded when I had radiation plus I was able to get contouring done around my abdomen which took a few inches off my waist so that was the silver lining in all this they do feel and look really natural

I absolutely detested my implants and I felt like they were making me sick. Had them taken out and a DIEP FLAP on 7/6/2015. I do not regret it at all. I love them and how natural they are!
