Any advice? what size breast implant do doctors put in when reconstructing the breast after a mastectomy?

Breast Implants: Breast implants are commonly used for breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The breast implants come in many different sizes and shapes. The selection of a breast implant depends on the size and shape of the normal remaining breast. Consult with a plastic surgeon certified by the american board of plastic surgery to learn about breast reconstruction options.

Size to fit: Your plastic surgeon will take measurements of the chest to help determine what size implants to use. A woman who is 5'2", 100 lbs would not get the same implant as a woman who is 5'9" and 200 lbs for example, so the size varies from person to person.
