I have existing implants and now I am having a lumpectomy + radiation. What are my best options?

Asked By:korzo in Los Angeles, CA

I've had implants for 10 years, with mild capsular contracture. I now have to get a lumpectomy, and am concerned that the radiation will likely cause more severe contracture. What are my options (including permanent implant removal), and the pros/cons of each?
