After undergoing breast surgery, whether it’s a mastectomy or breast reconstruction, it’s essential to wait until the surgical site has healed before your first fitting for a mastectomy bra. We recommend scheduling your fitting between 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery for the best fit and comfort.
What to Bring for Your Mastectomy Bra Fitting
For your first fitting, please bring your medical certificate, which should include the surgery side, date, NHI number, and your date of birth. This helps us ensure that we can tailor our recommendations to your specific recovery stage.
What to Expect During the Fitting
Mastectomy bra fittings after surgery are more detailed than regular fittings, so you should expect your session to take around 30 to 45 minutes. This allows us time to assess your needs, measure you properly, and recommend the best products for your recovery.
Can You Walk In or Should You Make an Appointment?
While we welcome walk-ins, we recommend making an appointment for your fitting to ensure you get the time and attention you need. Plus, if you have any questions or concerns before the appointment, we’re always here to help.
Bring a Support Person
Feel free to bring a support person with you for comfort. We understand that this can be an emotional time, and having someone by your side can help ease any concerns.
