Hey there, flat sisters! Several have asked what swimsuit styles I wear, so here is a compilation of my different options since my breast cancer surgery. It’s really been an evolution of rebuilding confidence. The first summer after my double mastectomy flat closure, I really struggled with the empty space and felt like I needed volume to help fill the void. The ruffles and high neck swimsuits with light padding were my go-to for the first year. It wasn’t until my second year out that I felt comfortable enough to wear the bikinis that I wore prior to my surgery. I realized that I could wear the regular triangle bikini tops and no one really notice that I didn’t have breasts. (Granted, I am aware this is easier for women with smaller frames.) The key is to find minimal padding in these bikini tops, the padding should be flimsy and not rigid. If it’s rigid, you will have gaps between the swimsuit and your chest wall. Triangle tops with fringe or extra texture will add slight volume and create the illusion of some itty bitty boobies in there. For women with larger frames, I highly recommend the ruffled swimsuits to help even out the chest wall to belly ratio. Other options are a low deep v one piece with layered jewelry or a high neck suit with padding on the inside.
