I’m one of them. I was 63 when I had mastectomy. I went flat and am happy with my decision even though I was uncertain about how I would feel. My decision to go flat was to avoid long surgeries and complications. Now I wear loose clothes and am glad not to have to wear bra. At my age 64, I just want to be comfortable.

@myog thanks for sharing your positive outlook! I admire you for finding the silver lining in this otherwise stressful situation! I was born in 1953 & have always hated wearing bras & now just wear camisoles at most. If I could dispel with all undergarments, I would love it, just as you say! There's such a sense of freedom with having a more child-like body again & no restraints! Good for you! Keep up the good work! You're inspiring! ❤️
