Hi there @JennyHowie, welcome to the group. I had a bilateral mastectomy in 2017 and do have the Amoena prosthesis. I did wear them both when going out, but now I no longer bother. I have very narrow shoulders which slope as well, and therefor, I've always had problems with the straps falling down, so have always kept them fairly tight. I was a size 18DD before. From around 2013, so before being run over by the Cancer Clowns, I've been on prednisolone for autoimmune conditions (4), which has given me a Buddha belly. I mention all this for a reason. I found that between the tightish straps and the abdominal fat pushing from below, by 'boobs' constantly crept up until they ended up on my collar bones. So I'd loosen the straps, which made no difference to the upwardly mobile boobs, but just meant that I was now pulling down my boobs and pulling up my straps. In the end, I just decided to remain flat and fabulous. I do wear them if I go out for a special occasion, such as a wedding, but otherwise I don't bother. I wear tops that are fairly loose and have a bit of decoration on the front, and quite frankly, I don't think most people even notice. This is a photo of me two Christmases ago...pardon the bum...
