Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 6, 2008 -- With over 260,000 people being diagnosed with breast cancer every year, new alternatives to breast reconstruction are in constant demand. Dr Jeremy Z Williams and Dr Christopher G Williams, both with Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery center based in Lone Tree, Colorado are bringing one of the newest and most exciting procedures to their clients, DIEP Flap breast reconstruction.

"Our goal with any surgical procedure is to provide maximum effectiveness to our patients," stated Dr Jeremy Williams. "As women recover, we want to help get them back to their normal lifestyle as quick as possible."

In the past, there have been few options available to women desiring breast reconstruction. Women could choose to have saline or silicone implants, use her own tissue flap, or a combination of the two. The transverse rectus abdominis muscle flap, or TRAM flap, was the most common of the procedures. The TRAM flap is the process of taking tissue and muscle from the abdominal area, and reconnecting it to form a breast shape. While the TRAM flap does offer women the opportunity to resume a natural look and feel, it does have drawbacks. Because the TRAM flap removes both tissue and muscle, some women may experience decreased strength in the abdominal area, making mobility difficult.

A newer procedure, the DIEP Flap (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap), offers women a better choice.
