Hi @Renners, I recently had a double mastectomy (Skin and nipple sparing) with immediate implant recon over the muscle. I am also currently having radiation. My surgeon is very up to date with new surgical trends and he said that the cosmetic results were far better doing it this way than other options and if there happened to be any issue with the implant from radiation then we would do revision surgery to replace the implant. During the same operation I also had a oophorectomy (ovaries and tubes out), this way I have minimised the number of surgeries I need to have and also getting a great cosmetic result. So far radiation has caused a lot of skin irritation, redness and peeling to my upper chest but my breasts and axilla have had no significant issues, just redness. Happy to answer any further questions.
