The DIEP flap method of breast reconstruction can only be performed a single time, whether it is one breast or both. Therefore, if a single breast is reconstructed with a DIEP flap and the other breast needs to be reconstructed in the future, a different type of reconstruction will have to be utilized. There are other flaps that can be used such as the TUG flap or SGAP, as well as the Latissimus flap with an implant. The other option, which has become increasingly popular, is to have a prophylactic mastectomy on the other side in order to have both breasts reconstructed simultaneously with the DIEP flap.
