The goal of this feasibility randomised controlled clinical trial (RCT) is to compare mesh-assisted to no-mesh pre-pectoral implant based immediate breast reconstruction in women undergoing mastectomy for treatment of breast cancer or for risk reduction of an inherited breast cancer risk. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To determine the feasibility of a definitive RCT comparing the clinical and cost- effectiveness of no- mesh versus mesh- assisted pre-pectoral breast reconstruction. * To determine if it is possible to collect data to inform a future economic analysis on the use of mesh in breast reconstruction. Participants will be randomly allocated to have their breast reconstruction either with the use of mesh or without the use of mesh prior to the start of the operation. Participants will be blinded to their allocation until day 90 post operatively. Participants will be asked to have medical photography and to complete a short quality of life questionnaire before and after surgery at 90 days prior to finding out their allocation.
