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
