Hello,

I need some advice.

I had radiation about 9 years ago on my right breast which had silicone implant in it. The implant now has a capsule around it.

I do not want the latissimus dorsi flap surgery.

I want the capsulectomy surgery but was told by one doctor that I can't because of the radiation I received. I also want to go back to my regular smaller size.

Has anyone had this type of surgery after radiation. If so, what were the results? How are you now?

If I have a reduction in my breast size will that help because some of the tissue/sin will not be needed?

thanks
