Re: Breast Reconstruction After Radiation

Hi Shirley,

Thank you! This is very helpful. Looks like reconstruction with expanders/implants can be challenging after radiation due to loss of elasticity (fibrosis). I think that I would like to discuss DIEP as an option for reconstruction. However, since it's a major surgery, the possibility of complications are higher.

Good luck and many blessings,
JJ
