Personalizing your road to recovery
At our boutique we are are to assist you with all your post-surgical, fitting and lymphedema needs. No matter what type of treatment, a mastectomy or a lumpectomy, breast surgery causes an imbalance of the body.
To restore balance to your body, our unique bras have a hidden pocket integrated into the bra cup to restore your natural breast form. Inserts are available to complete your symmetry.
Our Certified Mastectomy Fitters are trained and will find the perfect fit for you regardless of the type of surgery. We can also measure for non-symptomatic lymphedema upper extremity compression garments and wigs.
The main difference between your typical bra and a mastectomy bra is a hidden pocket which is integrated into the cups. These cups are designed to hold a prosthesis or breast form in a way that matches your natural breast.
Possibly. In many cases, a lumpectomy (or partial mastectomy) will result in a size difference in breast size enough to require a partial prosthesis. Our certified fitters are trained to help you decide if a partial prosthesis is the correct option for you.
A breast prosthesis helps to restore balance to the body for good physical health and to avoid neck or back pain. Losing a breast causes an imbalance to the body. If a woman goes too long without replacing the weight of a missing breast, she may experience neck or back pain.
While not required, it is highly recommended that breast cancer patients have their physicians write a prescription for a breast prosthesis and post-mastectomy bras because many insurance companies will cover some if not all the costs for these products if they are prescribed by a physician. Patients should check with their insurance providers for details about the coverage.
During your fitting, you will have a private consultation with a Certified Mastectomy Fitter. This is not a “one size fits all” approach; as all surgeries are different, all fittings will be unique as well. Our Fitters will show you many options in Bras and Prosthesis. We offer several brands including, Amoena, American Breast Care, Tru Life, Anita, and more.
Appointments are highly encouraged. Our Certified Mastectomy fitters want to ensure that we have enough time set aside for each guest. Appointments can be made by calling (865) 583-1010.
