DMX in Jan 2023, went flat. I had no desire to put anything into my body when the focus was on removing. Reconstruction never even entered my mind. I was also married 30 yrs at that time (almost 32 now), my husband didn't care either way, not that I asked his opinion 😉
I have no regrets. Being flat is so comfortable!! I wear simple cotton tank tops under my clothes just so I don't feel "bare". I went to prosthetic professional, was fitted, bought a set of prosthetics ($800!!), thankfully 80% pd by insurance, but still ... ouch. Insurance covers a new set every 2-3 yrs, but I doubt I'll buy again. I have had them a full year, and worn them ONCE. They do look very natural, but they are kind of heavy, I felt self-conscious that maybe they had slipped, one was sitting higher than the other, etc, lol. Not worth the bother!! I am thin, so (I think) it is obvious that I'm flat, but honestly who cares, and I think it looks fine. If I go somewhere I'm concerned about the look, I wear a pleated blouse, or something on the baggier side, and I really don't think it is glaringly obvious then.
However -- thanks to jojo's comment here, I am now checking out bustedtank.com (never heard of them!), and think I might buy a few mast tanks and camis, and maybe even try their breast forms. I mean, for $18, I'll see if I like them. Probably lighter and more comfortable than the professional ones I bought and leave sitting in their case in my closet.
Good luck to you. I know it is a hard decision for some. But be assured that going flat is easy and comfortable, in my opinion. And bonus -- you could own several different bust sizes for various looks/outfits!!
There's a thought! I too go flat most of then time but sometimes wear my B cup protheses- fo example when photos are to be taken. But since the Australian govt will give me a new pair each two years, maybe I'll get much bigger ones for special occasions - to offset my big tummy which has so far refused to budge, despite all these high intensity gym sessions.
