ABSTRACT:
An accessory which can be incorporated into a conventional bra at the time of manufacture or added subsequent thereto for conversion thereof to a mastectomy bra. The accessory hides variable amounts of scar tissue or other type of chest disfigurement in the region where the breast has been removed, by means which may be adjusted by the wearer, the area hidden depending in amount and location upon the nature and extent of the mastectomy, i.e., removal of all or a part of one or both breasts with or without removal of adjacent muscle tissue and/or lymph nodes. The resultant mastectomy bra functions to contain in each cup one or more breast prostheses in cases where both natural breasts have been removed, or where only one breast has been removed to support a natural breast in conventional fashion in one cup and one or more prostheses in the other cup, while maintaining a harmonious and apparently similar appearance on both the left and right sides thereof, while covering both the mastectomy area and the normal breast in a visually similar manner.
