Where Do I Get Fitted For A Mastectomy Bra?
Finding the right bra after breast surgery is about more than just a number on a tape measure. It’s about feeling like yourself again, reclaiming your "normal," and ensuring your body has the support it needs to heal. Whether you have undergone a single or double mastectomy, a lumpectomy, or reconstruction, a professional fitting is a vital step in your recovery.
Why a Professional Fitting Matters
While you can take basic measurements at home, a certified mastectomy fitter provides expertise that a DIY approach cannot match. After surgery, your body is dynamic—swelling and changes in chest wall contours all affect how a bra should fit.
-
Tailored Support: Professional fitters know which styles work for different body types and specific surgery outcomes.
-
Beyond Surgery: They can help you transition from a post-surgical medical need to a lifestyle bra that works for your "new normal" and beyond.
-
A Safe Space: Our partners provide a supportive environment where your story is heard and respected, regardless of your diagnosis or stage of recovery.
-
Celebrating Individuality: At AnaOno, we believe you should have a bra that fits your unique shape, and a fitter ensures that the product affirms your body exactly as it is.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
At AnaOno, we aim to make your experience uncomplicated and encouraging. A typical fitting appointment is a thoughtful process designed to make you feel empowered and at ease.
-
A Supportive Conversation: Your fitter will likely ask about your journey to understand your specific needs, whether you are asymmetrical, have had a flat closure, or are looking for something beautiful that doesn't cause underwire pain.
-
Expert Guidance: They use facts about post-surgical comfort to inform you why certain materials, like our soft modal fabric, are better for your skin.
-
Trying On Styles: You’ll explore a variety of options that prioritize both function and beauty, proving that "medical" doesn't have to mean "sterile" or "outdated".
-
Movement & Comfort: You will ensure the bra feels good while moving, giving you the self-confidence to get back to your daily life—whether that's working, walking, or just relaxing.
Questions to Ask Your Fitter
To get the most out of your appointment, consider asking:
-
"Which styles are best for my specific surgery type (e.g., Diep Flap, Unilateral, or Flat Closure)?"
-
"How should this bra feel against my scar tissue or incision sites?"
-
"Do you have pocketed options if I decide to use 'foob' inserts or prosthetics?"
