Patient had mastectomy for breast cancer and on the same day her left breast was reconstructed with abdominal tissue (DIEP flap). Six months later patient had nipple reconstruction and did not require any further adjustments. The skin of the flap is only in the middle of the breast, representing the areola, while the rest is breast skin. This is usually possible when the reconstruction is done immediately.
