For any guys that had to have the pectoral muscle moved to the neck to protect the carotid artery during brachy therapy: Is it possible to have a pec implant to the affected side ? When I research pec implants, they always refer to placing it under the pec muscle. Mine is in my neck, so not an option. I was told that fat transfer is a possibility to smooth it out, but I am too skinny - dang it !
