The most common one involves the removal of flap from the abdomen region and placing it at the site of mastectomy. The procedure of DIEP flap surgery has 3 different phases,<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phase_1\"><\/span>Phase 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The procedure begins with fold microsurgery. The fold from mid-region is taken out and placed on the site of mastectomy. In this process, the surgeon makes an effort to keep the flap removed from the abdomen alive. The reconstruction of one bosom takes 4 hours and of two takes 6 to 8 hours.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phase_2\"><\/span>Phase 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In this stage, corrective surgery is performed on the flap harvested in the previous stage.
