Do you recommend resection for positive anterior or posterior margins in a patient s/p mastectomy if the surgeon says they took all the breast tissue anteriorly to the skin or posteriorly to the fascia?

It's hard to localize a margin positive area after mastectomy (unlike lumpectomy) and most of the time we dont recommend resection unless the area can be localized with certainty
