What are some questions a woman should ask a plastic surgeon, before deciding on this reconstruction procedure?

What are the alternatives to the DIEP flap? (Including alternative microsurgical and non-microsurgical techniques.) Whether DIEP flaps are a significant part of the surgeons practice? (Since success rates are directly related to a surgeons experience.) What happens if the flap fails? (The national reported flap failure rate ranges from 3%-1dependingding on the type of flap performed.) How many additional surgeries will be necessary in addition to the DIEP flap? (At least one or more surgeries will be necessary in order to fine tune the appearance, as well as reconstruct the nipples in the final stage.)
