I had a bilateral mastecomy last May and went direct to implants (Natrelle 410 Highly Cohesive Anotomically Shaped Silicone filled), which I thought would be fabulous- no tissue expanders like my mom and other friends. Cancer was on left side (with sentinel node biopsy), prophylactic mastectomy on right. Both sides are very firm and feel like wet sandbags, but shaped like hamburger buns and feel like they extend out under my arms. It's my right side (non-cancer) that is giving me the most grief. It's much higher and I can feel the muscle just under my collarbone. PS says we should do a "revision"- I need to think about going either the same anatomically shaped, but lower height or smooth round (which would be softer). He showed me the implants, but it's hard to tell how they will look on me... I am 5'8", 150lbs, 45 yrs old, and active.
