Breast Forms Fitted Aroud You
A breast form can be worn after a mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery to create shape or balance under clothing. Different forms vary in shape, profile, weight, material and how they are worn. The right choice depends on your body, your preferences and how you want to wear it.

When Should I Come for a Fitting?
For a long-term breast form, most women are fitted once the incision is healed and swelling has settled, generally around 8–12 weeks after surgery. This may be longer after radiation.
Recovery is individual. Please follow your surgeon or healthcare team’s advice.
Fittings are provided by an Amoena Certified Mastectomy Fitter in Edmonton.
