IGAP Flap – Inferior Gluteal Artery Perforator Flap

The IGAP flap, or the Inferior Gluteal Artery Perforator Flap is a variation of the SGAP flap. The procedure is virtually identical aside from the use of the inferior gluteal artery versus the superior gluteal artery. The physical difference to the patient is a donor scar lower on the buttock versus higher on the buttock. Which of these two procedures is most appropriate usually is determined by each patients individual anatomy.

Restoration of the nipple and areola follow. Scars fade substantially with time.
