Great question. According to Imaginis, it appears that breast reconstruction rarely hides recurrent breast cancer. "Local recurrences with implants are most often in front of the implant, and recurrences with TRAM flap procedures are along the edge of the breast skin (not in the flap)."
However, we have submitted your question to an expert at Georgetown University which is one of the best breast reconstruction centers in the country. We hope to have an answer for you by next week. Are you considering reconstructive surgery or have you had it?
