In the context of breast cancer, women who refuse reconstruction are often portrayed as having limited agency or control over their bodies and treatment. Here we assess these assumptions by paying attention to how the local contexts and inter-relational dynamics influence women’s decision-making about their mastectomized body in Central Vietnam. We situate the reconstructive decision within an under-funded public health system, but also show how the widespread perception of the surgery as merely an aesthetic practice dissuades women from seeking reconstruction. Women are shown both conform to existing gendered norms while simultaneously challenging and defying them.
