APEX Flap Breast Reconstruction
A Next-Generation Option in Breast Reconstruction
The APEX Flap (Abdominal Perforator Exchange) is a cutting-edge form of microsurgical breast reconstruction designed for patients who have undergone mastectomy. Similar to the DIEP Flap technique, it uses the patient’s own excess fat from the lower abdomen to recreate the natural shape and volume of the breast.
What sets the APEX Flap apart is its refined approach to anatomy. Unlike standard DIEP Flap procedures, which may sometimes require cutting muscle to ensure proper blood flow, the APEX technique is engineered to preserve all abdominal muscles. It strategically rearranges blood vessels to optimize circulation to the transplanted tissue without compromising core strength.
This advanced method was specifically developed to address the limitations of traditional DIEP reconstruction. By protecting muscle integrity and enhancing blood flow, the APEX Flap reduces complications and improves overall surgical outcomes.
Reserved for cases where individual anatomy calls for a more specialized approach, the APEX Flap represents one of the most sophisticated innovations in modern breast reconstruction. It offers patients a safer, more precise alternative—supporting long-term softness, strength, and natural aesthetics in the newly reconstructed breast.
