Many people dealing with breast cancer undergo surgery that alters their physical appearance. A breast prosthesis or mastectomy bra can help you feel confident again.
What is a breast prosthesis?
A breast prosthesis is weighted and helps keep the body symmetrical when breast surgery results in an imbalance. When the body is not properly aligned, you may suffer back, shoulder, and neck discomfort. A breast prosthesis will help restore the body's natural balance and posture.
Sample protheses are available to look at in our in-person resource centers
What is a mastectomy bra?
A mastectomy bra is a bra that is specially designed with pockets to hold the weighted breast form. The bra comes in a variety of attractive colors and styles and can be fitted at the same time as your breast prosthesis fitting.
