What is the most comfortable thing to wear after having a mastectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prosthesis: You need a presciption to go to a bra specialty store to get fitted for a prothesis (insert that goes into a special made bra). Insurance will pay for you to get bras every year. A good fit will match your remaining breast. At 33, I am wondering why you were not offered reconstruction? Please know this is always an option available to you moving forward by a plastic surgeon.
