Good evening, I had a Becker tissue expander implant 10 years ago, after finding a lump a few months ago, my consultant said that it has leaked and will need to be replaced. He has given me no indication of time, but I said my case will go to the MDT next week. He did say they could be some complications as I have previously had a failed tram flap and radiotherapy. I am wondering how long the surgery will be and about the recovery period? He will also be doing a biopsy on the lump at the same time as the Surgery as he said it would be too risky to do a biopsy now as the lump is attached to the implant.
