Finding the perfect fitting bra is essential for comfort and confidence, especially for women who have undergone breast surgery. Amoena bras are designed with these unique needs in mind, offering a range of styles and sizes to ensure the best fit. This guide will walk you through finding the right Amoena bra, including measuring tips, fitting advice, and product recommendations.
Amoena Bra Styles
During a mastectomy bra fitting at DeBra's, you will be paired with a specialised Mastectomy Fitting Consultant who will discuss your unique needs and gain insights into your lifestyle and goals for the consultation. Amoena offers a variety of bra styles to cater to different needs and preferences. Here are some popular Amoena bra types:
- Mastectomy Bras: These bras have inside pockets to hold breast forms securely in place. They provide support and comfort for women who have undergone mastectomy surgery. If you don't already have a breast form, don't worry; your Mastectomy Fitting Consultant will discuss this with you and help you choose what's right for you.
- Post-Surgery Bras: Amoena post-surgery bras are suitable not only for mastectomy patients but also for those who have undergone breast reduction, breast enhancement, or breast reconstruction surgeries. These bras are crafted from soft, comfortable materials and, in most cases, are suitable for immediate wear after surgery. Many styles include front closures for added convenience.
- Compression Bras: Often recommended for use during the recovery period following various breast surgeries. They offer varied compression levels to help minimise swelling and support healing.
- Leisure Bras: Soft and easy to wear, leisure bras are ideal for lounging at home or sleeping.
DeBra's recommends discussing your options with your medical practitioner before your fitting appointment to ensure you choose the best style for your needs.
How to Measure for a Mastectomy Bra
Proper measurement is crucial for finding a well-fitting mastectomy bra. A correctly fitted bra enhances comfort, boosts confidence, and supports overall well-being after breast surgery.
- Band Size (Underbust): Measure around your chest, just under the remaining breast where the bra band sits. Ensure the tape is snug but not tight.
- Cup Size (Overbust): Measure from the middle of your chest (sternum) to the centre of your spine, over the fullest part of your remaining breast. Double this figure to get your overbust measurement.
Working with a professional fitter experienced in mastectomy bra fittings is recommended to ensure accurate measurements.
Choosing the Right Breast Form
Selecting a suitable breast form is essential for comfort and confidence. Here are a few things to consider before your Prosthesis or Mastectomy Bra Fitting Appointment but don't worry, these are all things your Mastectomy Fitting Consultant will discuss with you during your appointment.
- Cup Fullness: Determine if your remaining breast is shallow, average, or full.
- Shape: Choose the shape that best matches your preference, such as Symmetrical, Extra, or Universal.
Wearing & Caring for your Amoena Breast Forms
The Amoena Breast Forms can be worn with pocketed bras for secure placement. Some forms, like the Amoena Contact Light 2S Prosthesis, are self-adhesive but are still recommended to be worn with a bra for added security.
