Breast Implants for patients with desmoids. Is this too risky? Do I have other options?

October 5, 2022
Asked By:JDe125

Hi, I had a recurring breast desmoid. It has shrunk from chemo treatments. I lost most of my breasts due to the reduction surgeries and the tissue taken out with the lumpectomies. I am interested in implants (#1 choice); my oncologist said there's not much literature on this due to desmoids being so rare. So I'm reaching out to see if anyone has input- is it too much of a risk?If theres alternatives? I'm in my early 20s, I just want my body back! Thanks!
