An MRI is the most sensitive exam for detecting silicone implant rupture. When do you need to have your implants checked?

Tissue-based reconstruction (#DIEPflap, TRAM Flap, etc.) offers a safer alternative for patients needing to continue radiation therapy after a mastectomy as part of their #breastcancer treatment plan.

"Radiation therapy is known to increae rates of reoperation, reconstructive failure, capsular contracture, infection, and total complications in implant-based reconstruction" (Mercili AF and Sharabi SE).

@MaryLeonardi6 So true, @MaryLeonardi6 . Help us support the exposure and affect this will have on #breastcancersurvivors. Email us on how we can support your efforts also!

[Brave Coalition @BraveCoalition]

Did you know radiation can weaken skin making implants impossible for some #breastcancersurvivors? Another reason to #savetheDIEP flap procedure from becoming a private pay option.

What's at risk with the DIEP flap procedure? Women not having access to the procedure unless they can privately pay for it.

Advocate for adequate DIEP flap reimbursement. Without a CMS code change, the DIEP flap will only be a cash pay option, leaving many without access.

Be #brave & #support DIEP Flap #breastreconstruction for #breastcancersurvivors. #Beingthechange starts by contacting your representatives, medical professionals, and influencers to keep the DIEP flap from being considered cosmetic surgery.
