 Q&A's

 Surgery

How long after surgery can I start wearing a mastectomy bra?

It's best to wait until the surgical site has fully healed before wearing a mastectomy bra. This typically takes 4-6 weeks, but it's important to follow the advice of your doctor or surgeon. Once you're cleared to wear a bra, it's recommended to start with a soft, non-wired mastectomy bra and gradually transition to a wired bra as the skin heals.

Bra Fittings

How does the process of bra fitting work? 

“Bra fitting is an art, not a science.” You’ll see different techniques in different stores and even sometimes in the same store with different fitters. Some fitters like to use a measuring tape as a baseline/starting point but whether they use it or not should not alarm you.

It is completely normal for the bra fitter to be in the room with you but it should always be a professional and respectful environment. This helps the fitter determine what works and what doesn’t as quickly as possible to help you find the best fit for your shape.

What should I wear to a bra fitting?

Wear or bring your favorite garment (t-shirt, blouse, dress) that you wear often. You want these garments to work for you and what you have! Keep in mind, you may be a different size than what you came in with and that is okay! You are not alone if your size has changed, keep in mind that different brands run on different sizing charts too and sometimes within brands. 

Insurance

Does my Insurance Cover This?
