how much weight does a person generally loose from a tram flap?


breast reconstruction

What is morbid obesity? If I were a visiting RN what should I focus when making physical assessment of one?



Answers:
the tram flap itself is not associated with much loss of weight. all it entails is moving muscle from one part of your body to the other. The mastectomy that was done will cause a loss of weight (how much depends on how large the breast and the cancer were).

Any loss of weight associated with a tram flap is likely do to deconditioning after surgery, not to the actual procedure itself.

best of luck!
