Breast reconstruction is not a boob job

Meet Alicia the founder of After Breast Cancer providing access to mastectomy bras, camisoles and prosthesis for people who cannot afford them.


A boutique owner who works with women to feel beautiful daily, Alicia's organization helps those who need after care most. Her program helps women access breast prosthetics, mastectomy bras and camisoles. Alicia addresses the misconceptions and mindset of what happens to women and their journey after treatment including the fact that breast reconstruction and the impact it has on mental health is not the same thing as a "boob job".
