Abstract
Prior research on psychosocial functioning after mastectomy has focused on comparing women with different types of reconstruction to women who “remained flat.” We found that women who remained “flat by choice” had the highest overall psychosocial functioning, followed by the reconstructed group and lastly, by “flat without choice" women.
