Patient story
Knowing what comes next
A patient describes deciding on DIEP flap reconstruction, and what it was like to have each step mapped out in advance.
In this video a patient describes how she reached her decision, and how the process was explained to her before it began.
Reconstruction is a sequence, not a single operation. Experience makes it possible to picture the end result at the start and to plan backwards from it — which is what allows each stage to be described before it happens rather than as it arrives.
Patients who can see the whole path tend to have a better experience of it.
