 •About six to eight weeks after
breast surgery it will be time to see a post-mastectomy fitter. At
this time your incision should be healed and most women are able to
wear a weighted prosthesis. If you have experienced
breast-conserving surgery, you may also benefit from a
post-mastectomy fitting, as there are partial prostheses to help
fill in the missing portion of the breast and provide symmetry.
•Medicare and most private insurance plans have coverage for breast prostheses and bras. If you are in doubt about your coverage, check with your insurance plan or ask a member of our qualified staff at Deines Pharmacy. | |

post-mastectomy fitter who has been trained by a manufacturer-based
education program to fit bras and prostheses. Certified fitters are
often registered nurses who are educated and knowledgeable about
mastectomy products, different surgery types, and possess the
medical and academic background to handle special circumstances.

cause an imbalance to the body, it is important to restore this
balance by wearing a weighted breast form. A properly fitted breast
prosthesis helps replace weight lost after breast surgery. This
replacement is not merely for cosmetic or psychological reasons but
for physical reasons as well. | |
