Summary
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to monitor blood flow in the breast skin of women who have had a mastectomy and radiation therapy. Researchers want to see how fat grafting affects blood supply. Fifteen women who are already scheduled for breast reconstruction will be enrolled. The goal is to learn more about skin health after radiation and fat grafting, which could lead to better outcomes in the future.
