Negative impact of radiation on Flap (autologous) reconstruction??

Hi @Julez1958,
Thanks and really appreciate your response.  I go to public hospital.  My plastic surgeon told me they don't do tissue expander anymore, it is either IBC or delayed (as in flat closure after mastectomy and then re-open during reconstruction).  The aesthetic results of the "delayed" obviously is less pleasing than the IBC (looks like patched work).  I wonder if this is the public hospital policy or in general all plastic surgeons don't do expander anymore?
