Botched LP flap breast reconstruction from cancer surgery. Can this be fixed?

medangelNov 15, 2023
I was 36 when I found my cancer. A general surgeon did the best he could to remove the cancer and leave surga clips all around that area. Later, I couldn't stand the uneven mess I was left with.(He did a great job!! Saved my life,)But I later ended up with a female, no less, to make me at least match under a T-shirt. She was board certified, but I now suspect too new!!! She did a Trans Flap and it gave me a horrific result. I look younger than I am and wonder if the botch, can be fixed.
