How different in size will I look with 760cc after mastectomy vs a normal breast augmentation patient of my size and height?

Question

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

trust what he says. you don't really have much choice as the implants don't go much bigger anyway........

The implants do look different in a breast reconstruction patient as your native breast tissue is gone.  I always will offer fat grafting to my implant reconstruction patients as that can help give a more natural and fuller look.  Best wishes!

Implants look smaller in mastectomy patients because they do not have any breast tissue remaining. ..
