2. Will my health insurance still cover my post-mastectomy products if I had breast reconstruction? Yes, your health insurance will cover bras, breast prosthesis, breast forms and camisoles even if you had breast reconstruction. If you had breast reconstruction and may need a prosthesis, because one breast might be smaller/different than the other (ex: due to radiation), your health insurance will cover your prosthesis to give you a more symmetrical look.

3. What is a breast prosthesis? A breast prosthesis is a silicone filled breast shaped form that is worn in the pocket of a mastectomy bra.

4. What is a breast form? A breast form is a breast shaped fiber filled form made from a material other than silicone. It can be made from fabric, foam, or a fiber fill type of material.

5. Do I really need a post surgical camisole immediately after my surgery? No, however, a post-surgical camisole can make your after care process a more comfortable experience. The camisole comes with drain pouches, so you won't have to pin the drain bulbs to your clothing. The drain pouches are removable. A comfortable non-weighted breast puff is also included and can be inserted in the breast pocket to give you a more symmetrical look. It also helps you feel like your still wearing a bra.

6. When can I be fit for my prosthesis? Usually, we recommend 4-6 weeks after your surgery. However, it may be longer. A doctor's prescription is necessary. Don't worry, if you come in without one, we can contact the doctor for you. We're here to help.

7. How soon can I wear a breast form? Since a form is lightweight and soft, you can wear one about one week after surgery.

8. How soon can I wear a post-surgical mastectomy bra? We recommend wearing one when your drains are removed. However, you can continue wearing your camisole if you like and just remove the drain pouches.

9. How often does my insurance cover post mastectomy products? The best thing to do is call us to verify your benefits, because each insurance company is different.

10. Do I have to pay when I purchase my post mastectomy products? Depends on whether you have any co-pays or deductibles. We can verify your insurance prior to your visit if you like, so you don't run into any surprises. We are IN NETWORK providers for most insurance.

11. Do I have to have an appointment? No, you don't have to have an appointment, however we do recommend an appointment, since we always take our "appointments," before our "walk-ins." If you don't want to wait, then I would set an appointment. We always try to see our customers as soon as possible.

12. Do I have to wear a breast prosthesis? We highly recommend wearing a breast prosthesis if you had a single mastectomy. Not only do the prosthesis give you a symmetrical look, but it also keeps you balanced. Bilateral mastectomy (both breast removed) customers don't necessarily have to, but we do recommend wearing lightweight breast prostheses.

13. Can I wear my prosthesis swimming? It depends on the breast prosthesis that you purchased. Not all prostheses are water resistant. Lady Like carries breast prostheses that can be worn while swimming. We will always let you know before you leave our store, and written care instructions are included with each purchase.

14. How long does a fitting take? Usually 30 - 45 minutes, depending on how many bras you'd like to try on. At Lady Like, we do take our time with each customer, and do our best to help you achieve the perfect fit.

15. Can I visit Lady Like if I didn't have breast surgery or breast cancer? Yes. We also offer full supported regular bras that go up to sizes 56K. Yes, that right, I said 56K. Eight out of ten woman are wearing the wrong size bra for a number of different reasons. When you come in for a fitting, you not only leave with a proper fitting bra, but we will show you what to look for when purchasing bras on your own. We're always here to help.

16. Will my insurance cover a wig? Some insurances do and others don't. Medicare will not. Wigs are usually covered by insurance if the need resulted from a medical condition. Please call us and we will assist with the verification of your insurance benefits.

17. Does my health insurance cover headwear and scarves? No, unfortunately they don't.
