Removal of Tram Flap

Removal of Tram Flap

I had breast cancer 10 years ago and had a mastectomy.  Last year I developed breast cancer in the reconstructed breast in the same spot.  The lump was removed; however, now I feel that I don't match the other breast whatsoever.  The reconstructed breast feels strange now and not part of me.  Are there any cases where the tram flap is removed to deter future breast cancers in that area?
