Embracing Aesthetic Flat Closure: Kimberly's Inspiring Journey and Advocacy

Join Kimberly as she shares her empowering journey of choosing aesthetic flat closure after mastectomy and raises awareness about flat denial.

Aesthetic Flat Closure is a post-mastectomy chest wall reconstruction option that provides women with a smooth, flat chest contour without the need for breast implants or further reconstructive procedures. This empowering choice involves carefully removing breast tissue, reshaping and tightening the skin, and creating a symmetrical, clean appearance. By opting for Aesthetic Flat Closure, women can embrace their post-mastectomy bodies with confidence, celebrating their strength and resilience.

We’re honored to share Kimberly’s inspiring journey with Aesthetic Flat Closure and her advocacy work in fighting flat denial. Kimberly’s story sheds light on the importance of understanding and considering all available options after a mastectomy, including Aesthetic Flat Closure.

Aesthetic flat closure with nipples involves smoothing the chest contour and trimming the skin, providing a beautiful and liberating appearance that many women find empowering. Whether it’s a single or bilateral mastectomy, the procedure can be performed with an aesthetic flat closure to provide an even and pleasing result.

Kimberly, a breast cancer survivor, shares her personal experience with Aesthetic Flat Closure through a series of videos. Her candid discussions address her journey, the impact of her choice on her life, and the issue of flat denial. Flat denial occurs when a surgeon’s unilateral actions deny their patient the agreed-upon flat closure, either through negligence or intentional disregard.

Through her advocacy work and partnership with the nonprofit organization Not Putting on a Shirt, Kimberly is dedicated to raising awareness about this beautiful choice for women after a mastectomy. The organization focuses on advocating for optimal surgical outcomes for women who choose to go flat after mastectomy.

By sharing her experience and raising awareness about flat denial, Kimberly hopes to inspire and educate others about the beauty and strength found in choosing Aesthetic Flat Closure. Her videos not only provide valuable insights but also create a supportive community for all those affected by breast cancer. 

Not Putting on a Shirt is a 501(c)(3) organization advocating for optimal surgical outcomes for women who choose to go flat after mastectomy.
