Hi Cynthia, I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction with implants about 6 years ago. I was a B cup and are now a D cup. I was quite happy to remain a B cup, but it is hard to know where to stop with the inflations, as the expander never looks like a real breast. I had 495mls put into my expanders, and then swapped with silicone implants of 495 grms. I look quite well balanced, but do feel a bit bigger than before. Having said that, I am very happy with my new boobs and their size. I never bothered to have nipples created, but will wear temporary realistic nipple tattoos. I order them from Brussels and they look really natural and last for about 3 weeks.
I have photos of my boobs on the Reconstruction group. There are some very interesting stories and pictures of reconstructed boobs to help with your decision making.
