Mastectomy Bras
How Is a Mastectomy Bra Different from a Standard Bra?
A mastectomy bra has hidden pockets integrated into the bra cups to hold a breast prosthesis like your natural breast. Women used to have to sew their own pockets into their bras in years past. This could be a very time-consuming process and often yielded mixed results. Today’s mastectomy bras are fashionable and comfortable. Many of them are also non-wired because bra wiring often irritates scar tissue.

How Often Do I Need to Replace My Mastectomy Bra?
Because mastectomy bras should hold your breasts securely and comfortably, they usually need to be replaced every three to six months.
Do I Need a Prescription from My Physician to Shop Here?
You don’t need a prescription to shop for a mastectomy bra at our Knoxville, TN boutique, but it helps to have one. Many insurance plans cover the costs of mastectomy bras if prescribed by a physician. This will prevent you from paying out-of-pocket expenses for the products you need during your recovery.
