In 2001, After tram flap reconstruction, bilateral, I had radiation on ONE breast. Within 5 years the radiated breast began to shrink. Dr told me was bc I gained weight, yea 20 lbs. Now the radiated breast is flat, stretched out, saggy. I just gave up and wear a fake boob. At age 73, do I have any options? I look & feel horrible!!

You an have a latissimus flap from the back; I do this very often and I now take care of the back roll at the same time! Much easier recovery (one night stay, usually).
