One of the most common problems that some women face post-mastectomy is having a hollow at the cleavage area.
The concern is that when bending down or wearing something low, it's possible to see down the front of the bra making the loss of the breast more noticeable.
Wearing the right size of bra is of course the most obvious advice, especially the right cup size.
Some bras make this worse and the main problem seems to occur when the bra straps are to the outside area of the bra cup, rather than closer to the centre. The straps being further apart give little support at the cleavage area and allows the bra to gape when bending down or leaning forward.
Finding the bra that sits close to the chest wall, possibly elasticated along the top of the cup or with a camisole insert permanently in place can do much to restore confidence and allow lower or looser tops to be worn if desired.
