Wishing you the best. I had a double nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and had soreness (from memory) for about 6 weeks. I also had drains in for over a week. The pain was manageable with medication. I am happy with how the surgery went and there is no pain or discomfort now. I do notice that I do not have the full range of movement with lifting my arms up but am not too worried about that. There are some exercises that can help. Sending you best wishes for your procedure and recovery
