How do I know if my chest wall is uneven?

Gently run your hand over your chest wall without a bra on. Do you feel dips or hollows? Do your ribs on one side feel more prominent than the other? Look in the mirror. Can you see an indentation near your underarm? These are all signs of an uneven contour that can be beautifully smoothed with the right breast form shape.

What's the real difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical forms?

Think of it like gloves versus mittens. A symmetrical form (a mitten) covers the area generally. An asymmetrical form (a glove) is designed for a specific side (left or right) and has extensions to fill in specific contours, just like fingers on a glove.

Can I just wear a regular bra with my breast form?

While you can, you'll likely find it doesn't offer the security and comfort you need. Mastectomy bras are specially designed with pockets to hold the breast form securely in place, preventing it from shifting or falling. They also tend to have higher side panels and wider straps for better support and coverage over sensitive scar tissue.

How often should I get a fitting for my breast form?

It's a great idea to have a professional fitting at least once a year. Our bodies change - we gain or lose weight, and scar tissue can soften over time. A certified fitter can assess these changes and ensure your prosthesis continues to provide the best possible fit for your health, comfort, and confidence.
