Has a double nipples sparing mastectomy 5 months ago I currently have tissue expander in that are filled to 760cc . I am comfortable with this size but I'm nervous that when I get my implants they will look smaller due to the mastectomy. My ps has recommended tear drop textured gummy bear implants at 770 ccs

Thank you for your question.
A mastectomy itself should not have any effects on your fertility; however, treatment such as radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapies can effect this. I recommend speaking with your surgeon to discuss your concerns.
If one side is deflating, it can never be expanded adequately to get a decent size implant in there. I can't see how this isn't a problem. You need it replaced, which is a pretty simple procedure.
