Our Mission


     Flatties are those who decide to opt for a Flat Closure at any point during their Breast Cancer and/or Chronic Illness Journey. 


     Flat Out Love consists of safe spaces for people to gather who have a Flat Closure to gain a sense of Love, Hope & Community. 


     Society often pushes women and afab individuals to go immediately for breast reconstruction with implants, DIEP flap, or similar avenues, which most frequently use harmful devices and result in a more extended and more painful recovery period. Our mission is to normalize going Flat either through AFC (Aesthetic Flat Closure), Explanting, Single or Double Breast Amputation, etc.
 At Flat Out Love, we believe we are whole just as we are, regardless of size, shape, or health history.
Save the Person, not their Breasts.


     Our non-profit organization's mission is spreading awareness and normalizing  living FLAT! We advocate and create community support through online and in-person meetups and various awareness programs.



Flat out Love empowers individuals post-breast amputation by fostering mental health and body acceptance due to illnesses such as breast cancer and encourages the normalization of living life FLAT.
