The Movement to Go Flat
More women are choosing to have single or double mastectomies without reconstructive surgery after breast cancer diagnoses.
When Pittsburgh resident Kim Bowles was thirty-five, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After researching her options, she decided to travel to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, two-and-a-half hours away from her home, because the hospital was known for its interdisciplinary approach to medicine.
âI knew that the first step was to get what happened to me out in the open. I also knew that if this had happened to me, there were likely many others who had not spoken up. I had to do something.â
Reconstruction Post-Breast Cancer Surgery Is Not a Given, Anymore Sabrina Emms
In 2016, Kim Bowles, then 35 years old and a mother of two, was facing the loss of both breasts due to cancer. Going into the surgery Bowles told her doctor she did not want breast reconstruction, instead to leave her chest flat.
Her decision, clearly communicated to her surgeon, was not honored. “I brought photos, I brought a witness, I did everything I could to protect my choice,” said Ms. Bowles, who lives in Pennsylvania. Instead, the surgeon left two flaps of skin in case she changed her mind. Ms. Bowles experienced “flat denial”, the response of a surgeon, who for whatever reason, does not honor a patient s wishes.
