Breast look and feel- one real and on implant
Hi all, I’m deciding between a double or single mastectomy. I’m 48 and single and really want to conserve the look and feel of my boobs as much as possible. I was wondering if I got one with implan...

Hello - I ended up having a double nipple sparing mastectomy with implant reconstruction (after lumpectomies with unclear margins). I am happy with the look of them (I think they look better than my natural breasts - rounder and perkier), however they do feel different (not as soft). In particular the one that had the cancer has thinner skin in one area where I can feel the implant. Also, I have lost quite a lot of sensation in the breasts. Overall though I am happy with the outcome. I had the double mastectomy for symmetry but also to reduce the risk on the other side because of dense breasts.
Thank you 🙏🏽 that gives me hope. Do you have any sensation left in the nipples? That’s one of my main areas of grief- if I lose this.
Do they feel heaps different to your normal breasts?
How was recovery for you?
