Prosthesis & Breast Care
After breast surgery, the right fit matters more than ever. Sharon is a certified fitter specialising in Advanced Breast Care and Amoena, offering unhurried private consultations in a caring, confidential setting.
Post-surgery bras
Two of the pieces we fit most often after surgery. Come in and we will talk through what suits you.
Breast care questions
If yours isn’t here, call the boutique - nothing is too small to ask.
Which breast forms and mastectomy ranges do you carry?
Amoena, Advanced Breast Care and Tru Life breast forms, along with pocketed mastectomy bras and swimwear built to hold them properly. If the form or bra you need isn’t in stock, we’ll order it in.
How soon after surgery can I be fitted?
That depends on your surgery and your surgeon or breast care nurse, so please follow their advice on timing. When you’re ready, we’ll fit you for a soft post-surgery bra first and move to a permanent form when you and your care team are happy to.
Is there any funding or rebate for breast forms?
Yes. External breast prostheses attract assistance under the Australian Government’s External Breast Prostheses Reimbursement Program. You pay us at the time of your fitting and we give you an invoice to claim with Medicare. The rebate is currently $400 for each breast, so up to $800 if you need both. Amounts and claim periods do change, so it is worth checking the current terms with Services Australia.
Some private health funds cover the cost of the bras as well. Tell us when you come in if you have private cover and we’ll give you an invoice to claim.
Can I bring someone with me?
Please do. A partner, a friend, your daughter, your mum - whoever helps you feel steady. The room is private and the appointment is yours.
