Plastic & Reconstructive Treatments
SEIA Flap (Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery Flap)
The SEIA Flap (Superficial Inferior Epigastric Artery Flap) is an innovative breast reconstruction technique that utilizes skin and fat from the lower abdomen without cutting through the abdominal muscles, ensuring a quicker recovery and minimal impact on core strength. At Valiant Clinic, our expert reconstructive surgeons specialize in muscle-sparing techniques, providing natural, long-lasting breast reconstruction solutions for patients after mastectomy.
Treatment Overview
Breast reconstruction using natural tissue for a soft, natural feel with minimal muscle impact.

Treatment Benefits
Minimally Invasive & Muscle-Sparing
This advanced technique avoids cutting through abdominal muscles, reducing post-surgical weakness and preserving core strength for improved long-term function.
Faster Recovery & Less Downtime
Patients experience a quicker healing process with less discomfort compared to traditional flap procedures, allowing for a smoother return to daily activities.
Natural Breast Reconstruction
By using the patient’s own tissue, SEIA flap reconstruction creates a soft, natural-looking breast that closely mimics the feel and movement of natural breast tissue.
Because every transformation deserves precision. Aesthetic care you can trust.

How It Works
How SEIA Flap Procedure Works
Unlike the DIEP flap, the SEIA flap procedure does not require dissection of the deep blood vessels, making it less invasive. Instead, the superficial inferior epigastric artery supplies the necessary blood flow to the transferred tissue, allowing for breast reconstruction using only skin and fat.
Comprehensive Consultation & Planning
A thorough evaluation determines if the SEIA flap is the best option based on the patient’s anatomy, health status, and reconstruction goals. This step ensures a personalized surgical plan for optimal results.
Skin & Fat Harvesting
Tissue from the lower abdomen is carefully removed while preserving the abdominal muscles, minimizing post-surgical weakness and reducing recovery time.
Breast Shaping & Contouring
Once transferred, the tissue is sculpted and shaped to achieve natural-looking breast contours, creating symmetry and a soft, realistic appearance.
Post-Surgical Monitoring & Recovery
Comprehensive follow-up care supports healing, reduces discomfort, and ensures long-term success. Patients receive detailed recovery guidelines and scheduled check-ups for optimal results.

Are you suited for SEIA Flap procedure?
Who is SEIA Flap recommended for?
For Mastectomy Reconstruction
Best suited for individuals who have undergone a mastectomy and want a natural breast reconstruction without compromising muscle integrity. The SEIA flap technique provides soft, natural contours using the patient’s own tissue while preserving core strength.
Sufficient Abdominal Fat
Recommended for patients with adequate lower abdominal fat to create a proportionate breast shape. Since this procedure only transfers skin and fat, it maintains a soft, realistic feel without the use of synthetic implants.
Implant-Free Reconstruction
Ideal for individuals who prefer a long-lasting, natural alternative to implants. The SEIA flap reconstruction avoids potential implant-related complications while ensuring a more natural look and feel that evolves with the body over time.
