Breast reconstruction..which option is best, especially if you had radiation

nam246 · November 5

Hi everyone, my name is Andy. I had a mastectomy on my left breast in March 2023 and have just consulted a plastic surgeon about reconstruction options. Can anyone who has had implants, flap-fat grafting, or DIEP flap share their experiences with me? I am kind of indecisive, but I would love to go for fat grafting, but I don't think I might have enough fat tissue, as I only weigh 109 lbs.
