🎬 Watch our short film (LINK IN BIO) to see Hannah’s story and hear from others who made empowered choices with aesthetic flat closure after breast cancer. “Beauty is diverse, if we have the foresight to be inclusive”. For Hannah, choosing to remove the two parts of her body that could harm her meant challenging society’s definition of femininity. After two years of scares & learning she was high risk for breast cancer, Hannah embraced the vulnerability of sharing her journey, showing that beauty goes beyond breasts. It’s about strength, confidence, and owning your scars with pride. 💪💗 Content Creator @kallie.after.cancer #FlatClosure #BreastImplantIllness #FlatIsBeautiful #InformedConsent #BodyAutonomy #AestheticFlatClosure #BreastsNotRequired #breastsnotincluded #FlatAndFierce #breastcancer #BreastCancerAwareness #FlatIsBeautiful #BodyPositivity #WomenSupportingWomen #PerfectlyFlat #LifeAfterCancer #shortfilms #independentshortfilms #lifestories #lifestory #life #love #loifestories #lifestory #previvor #previvormom

This story is from our short films Breasts Not Included and Breasts Not Required, out now LINK ON BIO. Our boys now see that mom doesn’t need breasts to be healthy, happy, and whole. 💖 The narrative that we need to be fixed is a lie. We are not broken. Flat closure is the safest option—and that’s the truth women need to hear. 💪 Content Creator @kallie.elle #WeAreWhole #FlatAndFabulous #RewritingTheNarrative #BodyAutonomy #BreastCancerAwareness #AestheticFlatClosure #BreastsNotRequired #FlatAndFierce #BreastCancerAwareness #FlatIsBeautiful #BodyPositivity #WomenSupportingWomen #PerfectlyFlat #life #LifeAfterCancer #breastcancer #shortfilms #love #lifestory

¿Quién dijo que después del cáncer una mujer tiene que reconstruirse? Este es el tráiler del documental: "Breast is not required" ("No se necesitan pechos") que reúne testimonios de mujeres que eligieron no reconstruirse. No como una renuncia, sino como una decisión consciente sobre el propio cuerpo. Porque su cuerpo ya es válido, femenino y completo tal como es. Durante años se nos ha dicho, de forma explícita o implícita, que la reconstrucción es el “final feliz”, el cierre esperado, la forma de volver a ser aceptables y deseables. Estas mujeres cuentan otra historia. Una donde la feminidad no depende de una cirugía. Una donde optar por un cierre plano (flat closure) también es una decisión legítima, informada y profundamente personal. Comparto este proyecto con mucho orgullo, porque pude colaborar en la traducción al español y porque es un trabajo honesto, sensible y necesario. El documental creado por @sethrt @hannahcsullyhan (uno es su propio testimonio) ha recorrido festivales en Estados Unidos, Sudamérica y Europa, han recibido más de una docena de premios y hoy está disponible para ver en streaming con subtítulos en español. En el #DíaInternacionaldelCáncer me parece especialmente importante amplificar historias que no siempre se muestran, decisiones que incomodan y voces que muchas veces quedan fuera del relato dominante sobre lo que “debería” pasar después del cáncer. Gracias @sethrt @hannahcsully por permitirme colaborar con un granito de arena a este gran proyecto ❤️🎬 Está disponible para ver completo en streaming, con subtítulos en español, a través de su sitio web. https://breastsnotrequired.vhx.tv/products #BreastsNotRequired #FlatClosure #CierrePlano #WorldCancerDay

Shortly before I had prophylactic mastectomies, Seth reached out to me to ask how he could be of support. As a dancer, I felt like I needed a physical space in which to move through some of my grief as I prepared for surgery. He offered his studio, and we made an impulsive decision to turn the camera on to document my words & movements. We had NO idea that a year later, we’d be joined by 7 other amazing Flat women to tell their stories— AND that we would use the footage to create two films that have now traveled the world winning awards!! More importantly, we’ve found community and advocacy work that exceeded anything we could have anticipated in that spontaneous moment in 2023. Seth and I are a volunteer team keeping these films going— and we appreciate any contribution from rentals to help maintain our webpage & film festival fees! You can rent both films anytime from our webpage— see the link in our bio!#aestheticflatclosure #breastcancerawareness #flatclosure #flatandhappy #breastsnotrequired - Hannah ❤️

The other night I had the honor of attending @sfdancefilmfest to support my fellow breastie Hannah and her short film Breasts Not Included. 💗 Whew!!! 😮‍💨🥹🤩 This film was powerful, bold, beautiful, fierce, and downright magical. In just a few minutes, she managed to pour in emotions most people spend a lifetime trying to understand. By the end, I was honestly speechless. Seeing a survivor tell her story with that much courage and creativity reminded me why our voices matter. Hannah, I’m so proud of you. Thank you so much for the invite and for creating something that speaks for all of us. 🌸🎬 📸: @reneffolsonproductions #BreastsNotIncluded #BreastCancerSurvivor #Breasties #FlattieInFilm #FilmFestival #Thriver #WomenWhoCreate #ArtHeals
