Any regrets after going flat?
I'm seriously considering having my other breast off, and going flat. I don't have a cancer gene, and have not had this recommended for that reason. But I am finding my remaining breast a nuisance. ...

Dear TonyaM,
Previously I had thought breast reconstruction as an almost expected progression.
Most of the breast reconstructions require sacrificing other tissues eg fat, skin and muscle.
The mastectomy to go flat is a smaller operation, than most reconstructions.
I'm hoping it will be a little easier, as I wouldn't need an axillary clearance.
The fat grafting is day surgery, and comes with liposuction each time. Although not enough to cure my abdomen entirely.
I'm still considering options. Being flat with bra and prosthesis for outings and special occasions, seems carefree.
