Has anyone out there had Pulse Dye Laser Tx to their previously radiated breast for telangiectasia that developed as a post radiation?  At 6 years post RT, my team talked me into receiving this laser tx to the underside of my reconstructed breast (b/l silicone implants, R side s/p RT).  Unfortunately, I developed 2 small non-healing wounds thru which my silicone implant eventually came thru, requiring removal of the implant.  I have search all over the Internet to see if there are any other patients out there like me, or who have had this tx.  Thanks for responding!

    I developed spider veins & my BS says it's from radiation. Mine showed up 2 years post treatment. My surgeon told me it could be treated with "laser". It doesn't bother me, so I'm not going to pursue it. Maybe post your question on the Lymphedema board. There are some very knowledgeable ladies there. I think laser therapy can trigger lymphedema.
