Breast Prosthesis

How do I find a breast prosthesis?

There is a store in our area that will fit you for a breast prosthesis. There are many styles and types and you will probably want to experiment over time to find what is right for you. You can buy bras specially designed for holding prosthesis but, any bra can have a ‘sleeve’ or ‘pocket’ sewn into it for a prosthesis. There are varying ‘weights’ and materials  for prosthesis, depending on your comfort.

Here is our list of local providers that our participants have used and reccomend. This is not meant to be a complete list and is not a judgement of those not listed:
