For women that have had breast cancer, the experience can be devastating, both physically and emotionally. The fitter I had explained that the loss of a breast is a very painful blow to a person's self-image and sense of femininity.
Many women have a very hard time looking in a mirror after surgery.
Because of this, stores that sell breast forms and offer professional fittings offer an atmosphere that is very private, and also male-free. Call first and inquire whether a shop can help.
