Has anyone who originally was going for the DIEP reconstruction changed their mind and decided to do implants instead?

Many people do reconsider their reconstruction choices as they learn more about the different options and what feels right for their situation. Both DIEP flap and implant reconstruction have their own benefits and considerations, so it's completely normal to weigh these decisions carefully. Others in this community who have navigated similar choices might have valuable insights to share about their decision-making process.

I am planning DIEP reconstruction in August still. I’ve come this far with expanders, CTA imaging, planning and I will admit - sometimes I wish I was done with all of it! Trying to be patient hope for the best outcome!
