According to the American Cancer Society, one out of eight women will develop breast cancer during her lifetime. Along with that staggering statistic comes the realization that mastectomy, coupled with radiation therapy, is the treatment with the highest success rate. The survivors of mastectomy are in need of specialized services as they regain their health.
Fortunately, there is a local company which is dedicated to the needs of post-mastectomy women. The Total Woman Boutique is an accredited business providing a place where their questions and concerns, their ideas and desires, their health and well-being are the primary concerns. Located in Baton Rouge at 9244 Florida Boulevard, Suite C, and serving Louisiana and the surrounding states, phone (225) 924-4531 or toll-free 1-800-460-4531, The Total Woman Boutique provides certified fitters to fit the prosthesis and bra that offers the most comfort and nearest match, allowing the woman to continue her active lifestyle without self-consciousness. Bras, forms, swimsuits and maternity wear are available in all price ranges. Upon a doctor’s recommendation, they can also provide lymphedema machines to relieve fluid build-up in the lymphatic and venous channels which can follow mastectomy and radiation therapy.

These programs are held two to three times per month, they are free, they are designed to help women learn to care for their skin and they are under the instruction of a licensed cosmotologist.
