[...] Entre sus beneficios figura la recreación del volumen mamario sin necesidad de emplear prótesis, sino con el tejido de la propia paciente [...] El colgajo DIEP que se implanta en la mama consta de piel y grasa pero, al contrario que otras técnicas, deja intacto el músculo de la pared abdominal [...] 1, record 1, Spanish, - colgajo%20de%20perforante%20de%20arteria%20epig%C3%A1strica%20inferior%20profunda
