Flat chest surgery - Tips
As the name suggests, breast flattening surgery involves the complete removal of the female breast and mammary glands to flatten the breasts. Therefore, breast flattening surgery is irreversible and the woman cannot breastfeed after the surgery.
It is recommended that patients must build up a complete psychological preparation before undergoing flat chest surgery to avoid self-confusion after the surgery. Before the breast surgery, professional doctors will arrange the appropriate surgery according to the patient's bra cup size, breast sagging or skin firmness, and remove the mammary glands and breasts.
Two types of flat chest surgery
1 Areola incision flat chest surgery
Those with small breasts (A~B cup)Those with firm and sagging breast skin 
A semicircular incision is made along the edge of the areola, and this minimally invasive incision is used to completely remove the breast tissue.
2. Flat chest surgery with a straight incision
Those with larger breasts (C cup or larger)Those with loose chest skin but no breast sagging 
A total mastectomy with nipple and areola transplantation involves a larger incision. However, it can remove excess skin and achieve a flatter appearance in a single operation. The nipple and areola can then be transplanted to the appropriate position.

| Areola incision flat chest surgery | Flat chest surgery with a straight incision | |
| Applicable | Small breasts, no sagging breasts | Large breasts or sagging breasts |
| advantage | Small incision next to the areola, small wound and inconspicuous scar | Effectively remove excess skin and adjust the areola and nipple at one time |
| shortcoming | Areola and nipple need multiple surgical adjustments or subsequent skin repair | The scar is longer and the nipple transplant is less sensitive |
1. Regular follow-up visits: A follow-up visit is mandatory after surgery for dressing changes, especially for flat-chest surgeries, to ensure drainage tube removal and the degree of nipple wound healing. These require evaluation by a professional physician. Nipple and areola reshaping and scar appearance can be adjusted through a secondary surgery, which can only be fully evaluated 6 to 8 months after the wound has fully healed.
2. Wearing a body-shaping vest after surgery: Wearing a tight body-shaping vest after surgery can help reduce wound swelling, prevent bleeding, and shape the body.
3. Scar Care: For scars resulting from flat chest surgery, patients should apply cosmetic tape and perform regular scar massage after surgery. This can accelerate scar softening and reduce the risk of scar thickening or melanin deposition. If scars remain too deep, whitening lasers can be used to lighten them.

Postoperative daily life is minimally impacted, with the most common issue being the inconvenience of the drainage tube. The drainage tube is removed in approximately 3-7 days, depending on the volume of drainage, and the sutures are removed approximately seven days after surgery. Avoid heavy lifting or exertion for one to two weeks after surgery. Strenuous exercise, such as gymnastics, is recommended to be postponed until one month after surgery.
Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of the breast, which means you will lose the ability to breastfeed and the appearance of your breasts. This surgery is irreversible, so careful consideration is essential before proceeding.
A straight-line total excision chest surgery will leave a straight-line scar on the chest. This scar will vary depending on individual constitution and the depth of the wound. Furthermore, since the surgery is performed by excision, it carries certain risks. Experienced chest surgery teams can minimize and avoid complications.
There are no specific dietary restrictions after surgery. However, avoid shellfish for one to two months after surgery to prevent allergies and discomfort. Smoking is also recommended for two weeks before and after surgery to reduce circulation problems and wound healing issues. Alcohol is also irritating, so patients are advised to minimize exposure. It is important to avoid strenuous exercise and activity for one month after surgery. Try to get enough rest, maintain a normal sleep schedule, and avoid unnecessary late nights or overwork.
