Aesthetic Flat Closure

An Aesthetic Flat Closure is a form of reconstructive surgery. It is also considered to be the gold standard for going flat. Aesthetic Flat Closure is a procedure done after, or as a part of, a mastectomy surgery.

Anyone who does not want to have a formal breast reconstruction with implants and/or flaps should be able to have aesthetic flat closure. The surgery is more straightforward with less recovery time than other breast reconstruction procedures. This is a very personal decision that will be discussed with your surgeon to determine if this is the best option for you.

During the procedure, extra skin, pockets of fat, and excess tissue are removed. The remaining tissue is tightened and smoothed out to create a flat chest wall contour. Sometimes after immediate flat closure, fat transfer is used to minimize a scooped-out look or to smooth out any divots or indentations. This procedure combines reconstructive and cosmetic techniques to deliver a safe and beautiful result.

Patients are usually back to daily activities in two to four weeks.
