Mastectomy

Post surgery garments

Post-surgical camisoles are often covered by insurance and are recommended for use after mastectomy, lumpectomy or reconstruction surgeries. These soft front-close garments are easy to put on and have pockets for your surgical drains, as well as removable soft light breast forms so you can go home from surgery in comfort, looking the same as you did when you arrived.

Radiation garments

Radiation can sometimes cause mild to severe skin irritation making it difficult to wear a bra comfortably. We carry specially made bras and camisoles made of soft, comfortable material and uniquely designed to keep all seams and elastic bands away from any irritated areas.

Prostheses and Balance Products

After mastectomy, lumpectomy or reconstruction surgery you may need a breast prosthesis or balance form to achieve symmetry. Symmetry is not only important to how you look, but it is critical for your long-term posture and back health. Balance forms used with a pocketed bra will give you symmetry if your surgery leaves you uneven, or if over time you need lift. Prostheses can be used in place of your breast. We carry many sizes, shapes, weights and colors so you can find exactly what works best for your unique situation. We also offer specially made swim prostheses and those made with special cooling material to minimize discomfort. And insurance companies often pay for a new prosthesis or balance form every two years.

Bras and Panties

A Personal Touch Boutiques offer many brands of pocketed and non-pocketed bras for women after breast surgery. Your body may have changed after surgery but that doesn’t mean you can’t find the feminine look in bras and panties you’ve always enjoyed. We offer bras of all colors and designs, including t-shirt bras, sports bras and lacy couture bras. Our selection includes bras that offer thicker material to hide scars; extra side supports to help smooth and shape the area under your arms; and bras with and without underwires. Our trained fitters will help you find your new size and the styles you desire. If you require a pocketed bra to hold a prosthesis or balance form, your insurance company will most likely pay for your bras.

Fashion and Couture Options

We understand that you have been buying bras your whole life and are used to choosing what you like. To avoid limiting you to products that are only covered by insurance, we offer pocketed fashion and couture options for a small upgrade charge. You can still use insurance, but will also be able to choose a special occasion bra and pay the difference.
