If the shop is a mastectomy specialist they will have a selection for you to try on from brands such as Anita and Royce. Anita are recognised for their expertise in this area as they also manufacture a lot of the prophesis you may be offered.
Their styles are all designed with comfort and support in mind but also come in a range of pretty laces and colours. Royce on the other hand specialise in the softer more immediately post-surgery styles which are often front fastening which many people find easier immediately after surgery and can have a high cotton content. At Harts we also like to advise customers, if they can, to get a fitting before going for their prosthesis as this can avoid ending up with the wrong one.
Lastly, as a survivor myself I would like to wish anyone currently affected by this issue the very best of luck.
