    • I'm now about six weeks post-surgery, the (proud?) owner of two brand spanking new "foobs" (fake boobs), and I've had some time to process the new additions.2013 September 14, Joanna Montgomery, “Me and My Foobs: What It's Really Like Post-Mastectomy”, in HuffPost, archived from the original on 17 Sep 2021
    • A mastectomy is far different from a breast augmentation, because the surgeon removes all of your breast tissue, which sometimes makes it more difficult for your new breasts to look natural. Would I have to go through all of this and hate my body? But, I can very happily report that I love my foobs.2018 October 23, Sara Altschule, “I Had A Double Mastectomy To Lower My Genetic Risk Of Cancer A Month Ago. Here's How I'm Doing Now”, in Bustle, archived from the original on 08 Aug 2022
