Your age, general health, and way of living.
The type of mastectomy or lumpectomy you had, as well as the amount of tissue that remains.
Whether you require more breast cancer treatment (such as chemotherapy or radiation).
You may find it difficult or impossible to remove a flap from your tummy due to previous procedures. Abdominal surgery is one example.
Your objectives and ideal appearance.
