Just wondering if anyone has recommendations of any pads or such as I now have one boob significantly smaller than the other after surgery, which is noticeable when wearing certain tops. many thanks Janice x
Hi Janice. I tend to wear sport type bras. Got some plain black and white ones from Amazon. I bought some pads from Amazon too and slip those in and both boobs look the same. However, I was very small to start with so no massive difference now I have lost one. The hospital will book you in for a prosthesis fitting also.
Hi, yes, ask your bcn about a fitting for a prosthesis. I had my fitting last week and it was very helpful. The prosthesis is ordered and it takes about 3 weeks from then. I was also given a link for a free bra from amoena - just postage (4.50) to pay. I have been wearing sports bras for now too. Someone recommended using the pad from a padded bra or bra insert pads. Hope that helps x
After my left boob mastectomy, I got one of those prothesis because I thought it was covered by my insurance. (it wasn't.) I never wear it as it feels heavy(and I'm pretty small) and makes me feel... I don't know... not good.
Instead I wear those soft cup, lightly lined bras. It looks like I have two boobs. I avoid looking in the mirror without having one on. it's just easier.
