What is your opinion on the Ryans Flap procedure?

Question

I have been given the advice of having the Ryans Flap procedure as a revision surgery and would like opinions on this process please. Thank you in advance!

Rahul Vemula, MD · Answer

The Ryan Flap is an excellent procedure to re-define the Inframmary fold. The inframmary fold can be disrupted after procedures such as implant reconstruction as well as TRAM Flap. Without examining you and looking at pictures to see exactly what si going on, it is hard to render an opinion.

Please consult with a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to learn about all of your options for revision breast reconstruction. 
Best wishes!

Would definitely have to review your records and have an exam to understand the best options.  Photos can be helpful in giving some more insight to your needs.
