Lattimus Dorsal flap

After 12 years the flap has twisted on itself and pressing on nerves causing pain in rib and breast tissue. Has anyone else had this problem? How was it treated, or do you have to live with it ?

sorry about misspelling the title .latissmus dorsi reconstruction. 

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I'm not sure if you have been referred to the breast reconstructive surgeon for further advice. They are really better placed to advise you further on this as this is their area of expertise.

    Hopefully people will come along and share their experiences with you, as support like this can be invaluable. But it’s important to bear in mind that even if there are other people who have experienced similar things to you, I’m not sure that their experience will shed much light about what is going on with you.

    The organisation Breast Cancer Now have a forum where they can put you in touch with women who have been in a similar situation. Have a look here.

    Give us a ring if you would like to talk things through.The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Celene
