Group Intervention Description Group: Standard Fat grafting Breast cancer subjects with current injury to irradiated skin at the post-mastectomy site will receive fat grafting procedure per standard of care during their 2nd stage breast reconstruction. Group: Experimental Fat grafting Breast cancer subjects with current injury to irradiated skin at the post-mastectomy site will receive their fat grafting procedure until 6 months after their 2nd stage breast reconstruction.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Increase in skin quality 18 months Number of subjects to show reverse radiation-induced skin injury
Physical Well-Being Using the BREAST-Q Reconstruction Module 12 months, 18 months Change in BREAST-Q patient-reported questionnaire to assess quality of life and patient satisfaction by using questions pertaining to the function and participation in activities after fat grafting. Subjects are asked to answer 16 questions on how often they experienced each symptom, using a score of 1 to 5, where 1 was none of the time and 5 was very often. Answers from these questions were combined to provide a total physical well-being score (for a total possible range of 16-80). Lower scores reflected fewer symptoms and higher satisfaction where higher scores reflected more symptoms and less satisfaction.
Skin Toxicity Costs 12 months, 18 months Change in patient-reported skin toxicity costs questionnaire used to assess the economic impact of skin changes due to radiation after fat grafting by using 7 questions asking subjects to report total costs and itemized spending on specific items related to post procedure care.
Effects of skin disease on quality of life 12 months, 18 months Change in patient-reported Skin-16 questionnaire used to assess skin condition after fat grafting by using 16 questions on how often subjects skin condition has bothered them during the past week, using a score of 0 to 6, where 0 is never bothered and 10 is always bothered.
