Answers:
Pluses and minuses of latissimus dorsi flap breast reconstruction:

Plus: Many breast surgeons like this procedure because the flap is easily slipped around front, through a short tunnel in the skin, and put into position. Generally this procedure produces excellent results with few complications.

Minus: The skin on your back has a different color and texture than breast skin.

Minus: Latissimus dorsi also results in some back asymmetry (unevenness in the appearance of your back). Usually, though, back function and strength aren't affected.
