Plastic & Reconstructive Treatments
DIEP Flap (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap)
The DIEP Flap (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap) is an advanced reconstructive procedure that uses the patient’s own abdominal skin and fat to rebuild the breast after mastectomy while preserving muscle integrity. At Valiant Clinic, our expert plastic and reconstructive surgeons specialize in natural breast reconstruction, offering patients a safe and highly effective alternative to implants.

Partnered with the UAE’s leading health insurers
Treatment Benefits
Natural Breast Reconstruction
Uses the patient’s own skin, fat, and tissue to create a soft, natural-looking breast. This approach ensures a realistic feel and movement that closely mimics natural breast tissue.
Muscle-Sparing Technique
Unlike older flap procedures, DIEP flap reconstruction preserves the abdominal muscles, reducing post-surgical discomfort and minimizing the risk of long-term weakness.
Dual Benefit of Body Contouring
In addition to breast reconstruction, the procedure removes excess abdominal fat, resulting in a flatter, firmer stomach. This provides a natural enhancement to body proportions while restoring breast volume.
Because every transformation deserves precision. Aesthetic care you can trust.

How It Works
How DIEP Flap Procedure Works
The DIEP flap technique transfers skin and fat from the lower abdomen to the chest to recreate a soft, natural-looking breast. Unlike older flap procedures, this approach preserves the abdominal muscles, reducing complications and improving recovery.
Comprehensive Consultation & Planning
A detailed evaluation determines if the DIEP flap technique is the best option based on the patient’s health, anatomy, and reconstruction goals. This step ensures a personalized approach for optimal results.
Tissue Transfer from the Abdomen
Fat, skin, and blood vessels are carefully removed from the lower abdomen while preserving the abdominal muscles. This muscle-sparing technique minimizes complications and promotes a smoother recovery.
Breast Shaping & Contouring
Once transferred, the tissue is carefully sculpted to recreate a natural-looking breast. Adjustments are made to ensure symmetry and a soft, proportionate appearance.
Post-Surgical Monitoring & Recovery
Comprehensive aftercare supports healing, minimizes swelling, and ensures the best possible long-term results. Follow-up appointments help monitor recovery and address any concerns.
