Hi! I agree with @onemargie, age has nothing to do with it. I had a single mastectomy at 67, wasn’t keen on reconstruction but as my surgeon preferred to wait, didn’t make any decision initially. I have stayed mono boobed since (almost 7 years) and perfectly happy to do so for ever. I had a seroma for 12 months so I too wasn’t mad keen to have more surgery. I still work, travel, go to the gym and have no problem doing so. I’m comfortable with how I look (ageing sure but a smart dresser and most people assess me as younger than I am!) and so is my partner. BUT I know that many women are very happy with their reconstruction. It’s really your choice, so listen to a range of views and then be happy and positive about your decision. Best wishes.
