Benefits of Delayed DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction After Radiation

The Foundation interviews Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo of PRMA in San Antonio on a topic that gets frequent inquires from those seeking information about breast reconstruction. Because radiation can cause a lot of significant changes in tissue, he outlines the benefits of replacing radiated tissue with a patient's own tissue as in DIEP flap breast reconstruction.

There are a great deal of considerations and points of discussion in the video patients can bring up at their own plastic surgery consult to achieve the best results after breast cancer and radiation. Many thanks to Dr. C for this valuable conversation.
