I have gone flat; have her make sure she and her surgeon agree on the same definition of flat - even it it means she shows him pictures of what she is expecting. I'm "slightly" disappointed with my results as I'm not as flat as I thought I'd be. I realize part of it is my body type and weight, I think I'd have been flatter if I was thinner. But I do not regret going flat - it was the best decision for me based on my dx (TNBC & BRCA2+) - I'm 70 and my breasts served their purpose; and I didn't want any more surgeries - I wanted to start those items on my bucket list without down time for surgery and recoup time.
