My surgery had happened last year and I'm confused on which prosthetics to buy - powder based or gel based? Also, any recommendations on where to buy in Delhi.

I too would like to know about breast prostheses. There is very little information available. The Indian Cancer Society makes very affordable cotton ones. They don't last very long but they are cheap enough to be replaced regularly. I was referred to a German company in Mumbai that sold one for Rs 12,000, which is a lot, added to all the other expenses one has to bear.Suggestions would be very welcome
