Breast Reconstruction

there are number of ways of reconstruction. Autologous reconstruction, uses your own tissue, most effective and widely&nbsp;used is&nbsp;DIEP. It’s a big surgery and recovery is long however advantage is that it’s your own tissue &nbsp;not e drone is suitable for this type. Individual who have lower belly&nbsp;excessive tissue are good candidate. Another popular reconstruction is implant based ADM aided reconstruction (preferably muscle spring). Your surgeon will be able to advise you regarding your suitability &nbsp;

I have BRCA2 and immediate family history of breast cancer. My mother's body rejected reconstruction (implants and flap) and I'm scared this could happen to me, too, and that I may regret a preventative mastectomy. My doctors have assured me my risk of reconstruction failure is low, since I'm young (34), healthy, and don't have cancer, but it's my biggest concern right now. I would appreciate any insights from other doctors as well as patients who have had similar circumstances. Thank you!

How common is reconstruction failure among young high-risk women (30s) choosing preventative mastectomy?

It is always sensible and recommended to remove the implant after infection and let everything settle down before re-planning reconstructive surgery, which may have to be flap reconstruction.&nbsp;

I had double mastectomy and implant reconstruction, healed wounds opened up followed by excessive leaking and exposed implants. Surgeon removed left implant, but washed the right one and re-inserted it, the reinserted implant carried on leaking and was removed now I’m left with a large amount of damage to my right side with lumpy tissue and the infection is still in my body months later and my wound still hasn’t healed. Is it normal for an implant to be reinserted if there’s an infection? Thanks
