Thank you for your question and photographs and I wish you the best on your breast cancer treatment. Unfortunately without the full details of your cancer diagnosis, it is difficult to offer you the best treatment recommendation. In general, however, breast sagging does not prevent you from a nipple sparing mastectomy.
