Re: reconstruction questions
and edit to add...your reconstruction options will have to include either lat dorsi flap (back flap) or alloderm or tram flap because your radiated side will need something to "support" the expander/implant. I am having the lat dorsi flap even tho i am not thrilled at having a scar on my back. Alloderm is only available in a clinical trial here but it may be available to you at your hospital
