Understanding Your Flat Closure Surgery

When we were deciding about chest reconstruction after our double mastectomies, we found that the options for recreating a breast were clearly explained. But choosing to go “flat” was much harder to understand.

Even after surgery, we realized we didn’t fully understand the procedure that had been performed. We don’t want that to be your experience.

That’s why we created this checklist — to support you in your ‘aesthetic flat’ journey so you can feel informed in whatever decision you choose to make!
