Mastectomy Bras
Many women who have had mastectomies are sensitive to their new physical appearance. While many women decide to have surgery in order to reconstruct the breast tissue that was lost during surgery, other women turn to less invasive options to recover their sense of self. Not all women are sensitive to having had a mastectomy, but for those that are sensitive, there are a few options available in addition to having a surgery to reconstruct the breast. One of the least invasive and most concealing options is to wear a mastectomy bra that covers the fact that a breast is missing. Mastectomy bras reconstruct the woman’s figure to include two breasts of the same size so that inside her clothes she feels symmetrical and complete.
Some women are not interested in post mastectomy bras because they feel that the breast will not be replaced by the bra tissues. While this is true, there is also something to be said for not risking a second surgery after already having gone through mastectomy. Whether a new device would be paid for through Medicare or not, a mastectomy bra is a great option that is non-invasive and does not include having to worry about new surgeries and new risks that come with the surgery. A post mastectomy bra is considered by some to be a second-rate version of reconstructive surgery, but it’s considered by others to be the most natural and least worrisome option for recomposing one’s image after mastectomy.
Logistics
If you are thinking of trying mastectomy bras after a mastectomy, there are some things that you will want to find out, such as where to buy mastectomy bras and how to make sure to choose one that is just right for your figure. Looking in detail through the Jodee post mastectomy bra catalog should give you lots of ideas about the different options. You’ll also want to visit a specialist shop so that you can be properly fitted and evaluated.
A bra mastectomy patients wear to cover up uneven breasts is a great way to hide what’s underneath, but it does nothing for the woman inside. Be sure to attend to your psychological as well as your physical needs. The Jodee mastectomy bra can take care of the physical, or even a mastectomy t-shirt bra w/underwire; however, only you can take care of yourself. Be sure to take it from both angles for your own best interest.
