It is so clear and I love the way that they specified who was a good candidate. Also, I have heard alot of obese patients in the UK complain that they can't get the reconstruction they want until they lose weight and how unfair their doctor was being, so it was interesting to see that some procedures are actually not recommended for people with a BMI over 30 (not a problem for me, my problem is more likely to be not having quite enough skin to move around).

I always thought that the easiest thing for me would be to get an implant, but that website made me realize that it would not be appropriate because of all the radiotherapy I have had. I hope I have enough skin for a Latissimus Dorsi flap, since I simply don't have the time to recover from a tram flap. Do you think my four-year old would understand that I wouldn't be able to do everything I normally for a few months? I think not.

I have read that in the long term patients who have implants have high levels of dissatisfaction because the breasts no longer match up after a decade of gravity has had its effects on the normal breast.
