Hi @Christabell_123
I’m a double mastectomy flatty post TNBC from 2021.
I’m a double mastectomy flatty post TNBC from 2021.
I elected a double after I had a chat with someone who had just done a single reconstruct as she had back and neck trouble from being single breast for 17 years post cancer treatment.
I’m very very happy flat (I was a double D girl) and my neck and back thanked me within weeks of the double mastectomy.
I’m also somewhat relieved to never need another mammogram again (ultrasound only for us flats) and I save my previous bra money for fun time with friends (aka trips away) as a reward.
Bra free life (and choosing boobs and their size - “I say when, I say how, I say how much”) rocks for me.
I did have to confirm twice with my surgeon that “my boobs, my risk, my decision” but he accepted when I said “one surgery, once and then two even sides with identical risk forever more”
