I had a masectomy on Nov 10,2008. I had an expander put in at the time. I want to get implants put in, however, i do not want to have the trans flap or back surgery. Has any one had success with just having an implant put in without going through major surgery

    If you have rads, does that
    If you have rads, does that make reconstructive surgery harder for you?

    Good luck to you Meena!
