DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction Doctors in South Carolina

Before joining East Cooper Plastic Surgery, Dr. Craigie opened a general plastic surgery practice in North Carolina and completed advanced training in micro-vascular breast reconstruction (for women who’ve had a mastectomy).

He is one of a handful of doctors who perform the specialized surgery, considered the “gold standard” in breast reconstruction techniques. “To do this complicated surgery, you have to have extensive training and a strong commitment,”

Dr. Craigie says. “We saw there was a real need for this procedure, that many women could be helped.”

We offer state-of-the-art breast reconstruction techniques using your own tissue without sacrificing muscle or function. The results are natural while minimizing long-term complications.

Our caring, expert practice is pleased to provide this exciting, life-enhancing surgical procedure. With this method, no muscles are cut or moved. Instead, breast fullness is achieved by transplanting fatty tissue and excess skin from the woman’s owed abdomen or buttocks, along with microscopic blood vessels that transport life-giving blood to the reconstructed breast. Necessary to the procedure, the removal of fat from the lower body becomes an added benefit.
