It's commendable you are researching for your family member however every case is individual.
The family member needs to understand the treatment and if the mastectomy is also nipple saving and if the cosmetic changes you mention are included. They should be speaking to the Surgeon with an understanding of what the surgery entails before heading off for a second opinion.
