Hello Millsy I had a single mastectomy and immediate DIEP reconstruction just over a year ago. I only had enough tissue/fat to create one 'breast' and so opted for this to deal with recurrence of DCIS in left breast. I am very sure that DIEP is the best way to go if you can, to get a natural look and avoid problems you can get with implants. I am very happy with the outcome in terms of symetry, appearance and feel. If you have enough tissue for two (which you must have otherwise they would not offer) then go with your instinct. Do what feels right for you. If you decide to have both done then the symetry should be excellent. It is a big operation even if you have one done and recovery takes some time but if you can, set aside concerns about work, others people's needs, what other people may think etc and do what will be best for you. Hope you are able to enjoy Christmas a bit and best wishes wiht whatever you decide to do Strawberry x
