Mastectomy and options of implants and or diep flap surgery et cetera are difficult choices. I note here that there is a comment that the implants are not cold. Not sure if your comments are based on experience of having the soft form or an assumption.
Well perhaps I am different to most! Mine is very very cold and hasn't improved over the last 18 months, so I am starting to think this is as good as it gets. When I had the expander in, it felt like a giant clamp on the chest and was happy to have the changeover surgery. Once the soft form (or so that is what they call it) was inserted the breast never warmed up. As to size, shape and form and how it looks compared to the good breast (or at least it is good at the mo) fabulous!
