Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I wear a breast form?

as offering a weight balance for achieving good posture.
Will my insurance pay for my post-mastectomy needs?
By law, insurance companies
must allow you a breast form following
surgery.
How soon can I be fitted for a breast form?

physician indicates
you are completely healed, usually 4-6

and
symmetry?
Thin
