What is a mastectomy bra?
What is a post-mastectomy bra?

Mastectomy bras can be purchased at specialty shops or mastectomy boutiques.
What is a mastectomy pillow?

What is a mastectomy bathing suit?
Simply put, mastectomy swimsuits are bathing suits specifically designed for women who have had breast surgery.

Do prosthetic breasts have nipples?
