Hi Bj. I'm a 12C and had a single mastectomy as well as 7 lymph glands removed 9 weeks ago. I decided to go flat and really pleased with the result. I wore the Berlei bra with the soft insert which was ok and did the job (a bit of trial & error to get the stuffing right!). I also wore a crop top at times as well as the Berlei bra without the soft insert. I do a lot of walking & hiking and didn't feel lopsided. In the early weeks my skin/scar area was a bit sensitive and found the Berlei ones didn't cause much irritation.
I now have an Amoena Adapt Air Prosthesis which is so much better. I've only had it a week but I forget that I'm wearing it most of the time. I also have the Amoena bras which are great, especially the Eliza style - depending on your size this style may even be ok for running. I play a lot of tennis so a prosthesis was important for me - just need to find a supportive pocketed sports bra now. If you're in Melbourne, I can recommend Femmeline in Croydon who were very helpful and knowledgeable. All the best🙂
