Breast Reconstruction
Aesthetic Flat Closure
Honoring your choice to heal flat, with beautiful, expertly tailored results.
WHAT IS AESTHETIC FLAT CLOSURE
A smooth, comfortable contour designed with precision.
Choosing not to rebuild breast mounds after a mastectomy is a completely valid and beautifully empowering choice. However, a traditional mastectomy alone can sometimes leave behind excess skin or uncomfortable contour irregularities.
Aesthetic flat closure is a highly specialized reconstructive procedure that removes or carefully rearranges this excess tissue. The goal is to provide a smooth, flat, and seamless chest wall contour, prioritizing your physical comfort and ensuring your clothing fits beautifully.
At ARBRA Plastic Surgery, we believe that choosing to "go flat" deserves the exact same level of artistic care, respect, and meticulous surgical precision as any other reconstructive path. Our team partners with you to ensure you wake up feeling comfortable, confident, and completely at home in your body.

THE APPROACHES
Tailoring your care to your unique journey.
No two bodies or healing journeys are the same. Whether you are preparing for your initial mastectomy or looking to refine a past surgery, we offer tailored approaches to help you achieve a beautifully smooth chest contour.
01
IMMEDIATE FLAT CLOSURE
Coordinated with Your Mastectomy
If you know from the start that you prefer a flat contour, our surgeons can work alongside your breast surgeon during your initial mastectomy. This ensures excess skin is immediately and artfully removed, leaving you with a clean, smooth result right from day one.
02
DELAYED FLAT CLOSURE
Refining a Past Mastectomy
If you previously had a mastectomy without an aesthetic closure and are unhappy with excess skin, "dog ears," or uneven tissue, we can perform a delayed procedure. This expertly smooths and refines your chest wall, bringing you the comfort you deserve.
03
CLOSURE AFTER EXPLANT
Transitioning from Prior Reconstruction
Some women who previously chose implant or tissue-based reconstruction later decide they wish to remove them and embrace a flat chest. We specialize in safely removing your previous reconstruction while beautifully smoothing and tailoring the remaining tissue.
04
FAT GRAFTING REFINEMENT
The Finishing Touches
For patients who need a little extra refinement, we can gently transfer a small amount of your body's own natural fat to fill in any minor dips, hollows, or contour irregularities. This ensures your final result is as seamless and smooth as possible.
WHY AESTHETIC FLAT CLOSURE
Your healing should happen on your own terms.
Choosing a flat closure is about taking control of your body and your recovery. Our goal is to ensure you feel deeply supported in this choice and thrilled with your final, smooth results.

Expert Plastic Surgery Care
Having a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon perform your closure ensures you receive advanced cosmetic precision, rather than having the incision closed by a general surgeon.
A Smooth, Flattering Fit
By expertly addressing excess skin and tissue under the arms and across the chest, we ensure you feel entirely comfortable in your clothes, bras, and activewear.
Streamlined Recovery
For many women, choosing a flat closure means a faster, more streamlined recovery process, often avoiding the need for the additional surgeries that come with building breast mounds.
Empowered Healing
Going flat is a beautiful, deeply personal choice. We are here to validate that decision, providing the specialized care you need to heal with absolute confidence.
