Hello to all the ladies!!!

At the end of March 2016, I am going to have a prophylactic nipple sparing mastectomy on my right breast with immediate/direct to implant reconstruction.

On my left breast I had a modified radical mastectomy 3 years ago due to BC, so my PS placed on November 2015 a tissue expander which is now overfilled at 680cc (Mentor anatomical).

I was a full cup C or cup D (depending on bra brands) prior to mastectomy. My left breast which has the TE placed and fully filled, resembles in size exactly my right breast when I am wearing a push up bra. Because my right breast is droopy, I am wondering whether a nipple sparing mastectomy will have good cosmetic results, as I am reading in the forums that for droopy large breasts, the nipple sparing mastectomy is not a good option because of not knowing where the nipple will end up. I want to keep the bra size I was before mastectomy and I will be placing the Mentor anatomical silicone implants 685cc. I have read, though, that overfilled saline implants provide more projection for large breasted women.

I would appreciate any experience from members with similar procedures and similar cup sizes prior to mastectomy. What was your experience with nipple sparing mastectomy? Are the nipples in the correct place? What type and size of implants did you use? Did you have direct to implant reconstruction? What cup size did you end up with wearing?

Thank you all in advance!!!

Love!!!
