I'm 46 and had my single mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction just over a year ago. As I had a good amount of flesh on my skin (tumour was deep inside the breast tissue) my plastic surgeon opted to place the implant over the muscle. I could have it done in one surgery as I most likely didn't need radiotherapy (I didn't).
I have no regrets, really happy with the result. I have shared in the Choosing Reconstruction private group (which was invaluable in helping me decide what to do!). I couldn't say exactly when I was back to normal, but I was up in a headstand last night at yoga and appreciating that I don't need to worry about a prosthesis!
