Figure 5. Patient with left breast cancer who underwent bilateral mastectomies and immediate reconstruction with DIEP flaps. The right flap failed (Images 1 and 2). After debridement and a period of healing, the breast was reconstructed with a subpectoral tissue expander (Images 3 and 4). The expander was later exchanged for a 700 cc silicone implant (Images 5 and 6).
