Hi I live on an Island and there is know stores to buy breast forms. I am going to Miami to shop and can not find any where on the web that tells you where any stores are. I know there are loads of places on the web to buy online, but I would much rather go to a store and try different forms before I buy them.

 It has just been one year since I had  a double mastectomy with no recon. I have healed very well no pain in the scar area. still miss having breasts, but could not have implants as I had radiation ten years ago when I first had breast cancer. My insuracne would not cover the more expensive operations. I am managing well being flat cheasted.

Thanks ladies for any info you have

    No I do not live in the states I live in the Cayman Islands, that is why I am looking for a store in Miami when I have to go there tomorrow for a Pet Scan as they do not have Pet Scan machine in Cayman, so while I am in Miami I wanted to find a store to go to and try out different Breast forms.

    Sorry about that Sam.  I've no doubt you'll find what you seek while in Miami.  You can try Nordstroms.

    The best place I've found in the Miami area is Silvia's Corset Shoppe, 256 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables, FL 33134. The phone number is (305) 446-8484. Silvia is a knowledgeable fitter, though a little opinionated. :)

    Good luck!

    Thank you very much for the info I will check that place out while I am there. I have a GPS with rental car so should be no problem in finding it.

    Warm Regards Phyllis
