Breast cancer surgery can be damaging to your self-esteem and affect the way you see yourself, as well as the way you think others see you. Sometimes, it can be difficult to love and embrace your body after mastectomy, even if you’re in good emotional health and have a caring, supporting partner who thinks you’re beautiful. Fortunately, there are tips that can help you cope during this emotional time so you can feel attractive and confident about your body just as you did before surgery.
