Making a breast reconstruction decision? Wondering about going flat?

If you are facing a mastectomy and deciding between breast mound reconstruction and aesthetic flat closure (going flat), you may be getting a lot of clinical explanations, limited visuals, and incomplete narratives. How do we know? This was Still’s founder’s experience, and a common one for many.

What’s often missing in breast reconstruction consultations are the answers to these questions: What does going flat actually look like and feel like to live with? Will I still feel like me?

Still is here to help.

The benefits of going flat go well beyond the medical benefits
