Flat Chat - No Breast Reconstruction

This private group has been created to support people who for various reasons are considering or have chosen to stay flat after breast cancer surgery (i.e. single or double mastectomy). There may also be people who have not had a choice due to potential barriers. There are different challenges and questions faced by people who are considering wearing a breast form or prosthesis (inside the bra or attached to the body to wear under clothing) or 'Going flat' (not wearing a breast form).

We welcome you to this safe place to connect with other people, ask questions, share your experience and support others who may be going through a similar journey.
