Radiated breast, - what type of reconstruction did you have?

anotherNYCGirl

I had TEs, then implants, in both sides, but the radiated side's implant had to be removed. (My thought is that if it was smaller it may have been ok. PS tried to match both sides, - I would be ok if it doesnt match!)

I am not a candidate for tummy flap (is that diep?).

Looking to hear how others reconstructed a radiated breast!

THANKS!!

Hi anotherNYCGirl,

While you wait for the responses from our ever-helpful community, you may want to check out the main Breastcancer.org site's recently revamped Reconstruction section, which also features a Reconstruction Options: A Comparison Chart, where you may be able to determine which type of reconstruction might fit your situation best!

We hope this helps!
