Breast reconstruction post mastectomy

[mariacarrrilla]

has anyone information where I can have a diep reconstruction, I have been told I am too slim, but there are consultants who operate on slim women BUT they charge £50k for the procedure which I cannot afford.

DIEP flap needs some bulk. So if the doctor has said that you are too slim for that, it would be difficult to comment here whether the flap would be feasible or not. The charges here, in India, in some of the best setups, will be less than 15k pounds, which is much less compared to there. You can look up some hospitals on Google and work it out.
