Abstract: While autologous or implant-based reconstruction has long been standard following mastectomy, an increasing number of patients are opting for aesthetic flat closure. 1 However, this population remains underrepresented in surgical outcomes research, and existing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), such as the BREAST-Q, were not originally designed with flat closure in mind. 2 As a result, the quality of data available to guide shared decision-making for flat closure patients remains limited.
