Breast Reconstruction GAP: Patient 5
Patient presented to us for Delayed Bilateral Gluteal Artery Perforator Breast Reconstruction - These photos are 14 months after and she has one more revision surgery she would like to have.
She has a very complicated history and multiple failed attempts at breast reconstruction prior to coming to our center. She was diagnosed with left breast stage 111a IDC and had 4 positive lymph nodes. The cancer was treated with neoadjuvant chemo and bilateral mastectomies. Radiation was recommended but declined. She had bilateral TRAM flap reconstruction at the time of her mastectomies. Unfortunately the TRAM flaps were not largely successful so she ended up having tissue expander placement followed by bilateral latissimus flaps. She has had TE to implant exchange and several revision surgeries.
SUCCESSFUL Breast reconstruction with Delayed Bilateral GAP flaps.
