Alicia’s DIEP Flap Reconstruction [Part 2 - After Surgery‪]‬ Breast Cancer Stories

    • Medicine

5 months after her DIEP flap reconstruction surgery, Alicia returns with an update. Although the original plan was to do a DIEP flap on both sides, it didn’t turn out that way and she still has an expander on the other side.

Still unsure what to do next, Alicia is taking her time to decide. If she had known things would go the way they did, she believes she would’ve just stayed flat.
