Adjusting to Your Prosthesis

Upon receiving your form and bras, you will probably find that you wear time will be modified. You may experience discomfort or sensitivity of the chest wall. You may feel fatigue in your neck or shoulders. You will want to build up to wearing your prosthesis full time. Start with a few hours each day, gradually increasing your wear time until it is a daily routine.

Along with these changes, you can expect that your surgical site will also physically change. These changes can go on for as long as six months and include swelling, skin changes, and settling of tissue. This is all part of the healing process.
