Patients are only now beginning to ask for flat closure photos in consult. While many plastic surgeons do have such photos in their portfolio, cancer surgeons (who do the vast majority of mastectomies) may not have any such photos at all. This doesn't necessarily mean they can't give you a great aesthetic flat closure - but it does mean you'll want to be very specific in your discussions with them about HOW they will achieve an optimal flat contour for you. Make sure to bring photos of what you expect AND what you want to avoid, to your consult. Learn more.
