Reconstruction
I was wondering if there is anyone who has had a failed tram flap procedure and what the final outcome was. I am hoping to find some guidance on where to go from here.

Hi Klad, that all sounds awful, what a shame this all happened. It is such a long surgery, but with your complications, you must have been under anaesthetic for many hours. I have recently completed bilateral reconstruction with implants, and am very happy with my results. I have 2 boobs both the same in appearance, level on my chest, and I am about a 14B, which is what I was before I had the mastectomies. I also had a major complication, with the development of a huge haematoma on day 20, that required surgery to remove the expander and clean out 800 mls of blood and clot, and cauterize the bleeder. This set me back about 3 weeks, but now all is fine and it hasn't caused any long term issues. Good luck with your treatment and healing. There are some very good healing products that are good for open wounds. What does your surgeon have you using on these wounds? Love Chris xx
