The breast cancer journey is incredibly challenging but one sacrifice you don’t have to make is how you look in your own clothes post recovery.
Some ladies choose the reconstruction path after mastectomy but for those who don’t there’s no reason why you can’t look beautiful in your own clothes again.
The first step in regaining your silhouette are breast forms. There are dozens of shapes, weights and sizes to choose from which’ll match your remaining breast perfectly. If you’ve had a bilateral mastectomy the size you become is now up to you!
There are also breast forms that can be used whilst swimming or exercising, so your lifestyle doesn’t have to change as much as you might have thought.
Mastectomy lingerie, swimwear, sportswear and casual wear have also gone ahead dramatically in terms of support, style and comfort… there are many beautiful garments to choose from.
In addition to that the federal government will cover the cost of your breast prosthesis up to $400, per breast every two years for the rest of your life. Many private health funds cover the cost of post mastectomy garments as well.
The key to you looking beautiful in your own clothes is to have a professional fitting by a trained lingerie and prosthesis fitter. Don’t let a store sell you what they have in stock because it’s convenient for them… it’s got to fit!
