Welcome!
If you are facing a mastectomy, or are trying to decide between breast mound reconstruction and going flat, you may be getting clinical explanations, limited visuals and incomplete narratives.
What’s often missing in breast reconstruction consultations is the answer to this question: What does going flat actually feel like to live with?
Still exists to answer that question.
A view you’re not getting elsewhere.
Still’s resources share the real, long-term lived experiences of individuals who chose to go flat after mastectomy. Not summaries. Not before-and-after snapshots. Not filtered outcomes.
Real Stories. Real Bodies. Real lives.
Through portraits and deeply honest personal narratives Still resources, the Still Anthology and Still Compendium, reveal what is often left out of medical conversations:
how identity evolves
how relationships and intimacy shift
what autonomy actually feels like in practice
what people wish they had known earlier
Why This Matters Before You Decide
Many people make reconstruction decisions without ever fully seeing or understanding the reality of going flat.
That gap can lead to:
confusion
pressure
decisions that don’t fully align with who they are
This book helps close that gap.
It offers something most patients are not given:
a grounded, human understanding of this path—before you choose it.
The Still Anthologies are a powerful collection of portraits and personal narratives from individuals who chose to go flat after mastectomy. Through striking imagery and deeply honest storytelling, the books challenge conventional ideas of femininity, beauty, and wholeness—revealing lives that are not defined by loss, but by autonomy, resilience, and self-expression.
Beyond the stories, the books offer intimate behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Still photoshoots, reflections on flat advocacy, and style inspiration from those redefining what it means to feel at home in their bodies.
