Pedicule TRAM is faster
Pedicule TRAM flap is a safe, reliable and relatively quick procedure. This can be done in less time than a free tissue transfer. I would recommend discussing surgery with your primary medical doctor.
Best of Luck,

You need to have in person consultation
You should discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Your options for the breast reconstruction will depend on your general health, your expectations and available tissue.

You need to discuss this with your transplant team and your plastic surgeon. You can be a candidate but need the entire team to be on board
