Recommend a surgeon
Our Directory surgeons are recommended by patients because they have a proven track record for flat closure. These surgeons:
- Respected the patient and their wishes to be flat
- Were technically competent in surgical technique to achieve a flat result, AND
- Did the best they could do give the patient the results they desired.
Do you know of a flat closure surgeon who you’d like to see on our list? Contact us! Please include the following information:
- Surgeon’s full name
- Location
- Procedure you’re recommending them for – mastectomy, revision or explant
- (optional) photos of their work.

A Word from Our Founder
When I woke up from my mastectomy surgery in 2017, I was happy to be alive. But I very shortly realized what had been done to me. My closure surgeon’s words as I lay on the operating table – “I’ll just leave a little extra in case you change your mind” – turned my stomach. I had lost my chance to be one and done, despite my extraordinary efforts to protect my choice.
I knew things had to change. I fought alone for a year. Then I founded Not Putting on a Shirt.
Thank you for your support. Together, we can put an end to flat denial.
