The Medicare program will pay for only one breast prosthesis per side for the useful lifetime of the prosthesis.

A mastectomy is surgery to remove a breast. Sometimes other tissues near the breast, such as lymph nodes, are also removed. This surgery is most often used to treat breast cancer.

Don't wear an underwired bra while the area is recovering from surgery because the underwires can be uncomfortable.

The Contact Breast Form from Amoena is a stick on breast enhancer/prosthesis that attaches directly to the chest, allowing freedom of movement and pairing well with tighter garments. The Contact Form is available in a wide variety of realistic colours, sizes and shapes to fit all skin tones and body types.
