Had Tramflap done on left breast in 2011. Having issues now due to radiation. Any one else have problems with tram flap after over 3 years? Can Tramflap be removed?
I had the flap done after radiation and implants. Its been 1 year and i need another revision becauae the unradiated side is loqer. The flap can not be undone. The wound just opened up after 3 years? I can recommend my Breast surgeon. He leads the Breast reconstruction team at Stony brook Hospital for a consult. I heard several say they were treated using a hyperbaric chamber for wound healing. I would definetly talk to your surgeon.
Thank you LisaN I will definitely ask
Can not help you did not have that procedure done. Sorry
No experience with trans flap--I would suppose it could be undone--all depends on what your problem might be. A great question for your surgeon
They shouldn't have irradiated your flap. They can redo with a fresh flap but not tram...may Lattimore.
