Wearing a Breast Prosthesis is Necessary

A mastectomy is a life changing operation for any woman. Post-surgical, a breast cancer patient’s life will now involve prosthetics and mastectomy bras. Prosthetics are meant to mimic your original breast, and provide symmetry under clothing and in a mastectomy bra. Below are a few reasons of why it is medically necessary to wear a breast prosthesis after going through a mastectomy:

• Have a balanced look
• Gives the appearance of how you looked before surgery
• Better Fitting Clothes
• Helps your bra to stay in place
• Puts proper weight back into your body after losing breast(s)
• Prevents Headaches and back pains, a result of your new imbalanced chest
• Restores Confidence
• Gives your body warmth
• Protects the chest around scarred areas
• Helps Maintain Postures
• Prevents Spine Curvature
