I’ve been mono-boobed for eight years. I use a prosthesis as my remaining breast is fairly large and I don’t particularly want to look lop sided when dressed (totally OK about it otherwise). I’d probably need to change most of my wardrobe if I went flat! I live in Melbourne so haven’t had any problem regarding humidity, which may make a prosthesis less comfortable in tropical zones. I put it in my bra of a morning and forget about it. There is nothing to indicate any propensity for cancer in my other breast (more than the normal!) according to my oncologist and as I had a persistent, large seroma for 12 months, I am not keen to do further surgery unless really necessary. It’s a personal choice about what suits you. Always good to get other opinions but do what feels right for you. Best wishes.
