Welcome! This is a new website for women of all ages who have not had reconstruction surgeries after mastectom(y/ies). Society's first comment always seems to be: "Aren't you having reconstruction?" Women who opt not to have it may be left feeling "abnormal" for making such a decision. In fact, the medical community seems to just consider us "uninformed" about our options.

We're here to assure you that you're normal, and there are others like you! There are many ladies who opt not to have reconstruction. It's unknown how many women don't seek reconstruction (although it's up to 84% of women), but while we may seem like we're in the minority, there are a lot of us out there. Why do we feel like there's no one else like us?

There seems to mostly be information online about reconstruction and plastic surgery, and--until now--nothing online for women who haven't had it and aren't interested in it. This site is meant to be an alternative to the wealth of resources that exist on plastic surgery. It's for women who have already explored the options and decided that they don't want reconstruction, as well as for ladies who have been living as "flattops."

Stop by and stay for awhile. You're sure to make some new friends (and, in the meantime, run across our beautiful spokesmodel, Mastectomyrtle!). Whether you're awaiting surgery or had it years ago, please join in--to learn, to be a mentor to other women, or both.
