Hi there! Sorry to hear about your loss. Yes, mastectomy and implant-based reconstruction is a much bigger event than simple implants. The results are strongly tied to the amount of fat that the breast cancer surgeon is able to leave behind. Thin mastectomy flaps rarely give great results, and thick skin flaps can give results that are comparable to cosmetic implants. I prefer to use tissue expanders as a first stage in that reconstruction, as it allows your plastic surgeon to take some pressure out if the skin is struggling to recover after your operation. Going straight to implants at the time of mastectomy can work, but if your skin is struggling, your surgeon has very few maneuvers to help it survive.
