For a patient receiving postmastectomy IMRT to chest wall with expander and regional nodes including IMN, what constraint would you use for dose to the contralateral chest wall/implant if the patient also had a mastectomy and reconstruction on that side?

I use similar numbers and tend to accept a more generous approach to achieve coverage if the patient has undergone a contralateral mastectomy vs intact breast.
