I agree that going flat is perfectly fine, and you would still feel very feminine and be beautiful. Women don’t need breasts to be feminine and beautiful and self confident. And people definitely wouldn’t stare or notice. Even if they did, stuff them. But they wouldn’t. It wouldn’t be that noticeable.
But I don’t think getting them reconstructed is a bad thing either. And it’s not just if you want to have them on display. I’m well known amongst family and friends for covering my breasts and never having a cleavage. Yet I still had expanders put in and will get implants if my skin is ok cos I had both sides irradiated. My breasts were a part of me, and after the initial period of being petrified and just wanting them gone, I now actually miss them a lot. They were never sexual for me. But they were a part of me, a very important part. They fed my daughter for 2 years. I also loved cupping them whenever I felt bad as they brought me comfort. They were soft, warm and snuggly. So wanting to have them redone to even slightly resemble what I had is, in my opinion, quite a normal reaction and would help me feel a little of the old me. It has nothing to do with having them on display, or vanity. It’s about keeping a part of me that is very special ♥️.
