Has anyone had an LD flap for their breast reconstruction? I had Stage IIB in left breast. Originally had implants after bilateral mastectomy. Chemo and radiation followed. A staph infection (6mos post radiation had micropigmentation for more natural look- HUGE mistake) caused failure of implant. One year later my only reconstruction option is the LD flap. Would really appreciate hearing about other experiences!
