What are Surgical Mastectomy Bras?
Surgical mastectomy bras are specially designed to provide comfort, support, and confidence after breast surgery. But they’re not just medical garments—they can be beautiful, feminine, and designed to fit seamlessly into your everyday life.
Here are some of the questions we hear most often.
How Do Surgical Mastectomy Bras Differ From Regular Bras?
Surgical mastectomy bras are designed with both comfort and style in mind. They are made with soft, breathable fabrics that are especially gentle on sensitive or healing skin. Many of the fabrics we carry are OEKO-TEX® certified.
Unlike a traditional bra, a mastectomy bra has discreet pockets inside the cups to securely hold a breast prosthesis or breast form. The bras are also thoughtfully designed to provide balanced support, including the additional weight of a breast prosthesis.
Most of our surgical mastectomy bras are wire-free, providing gentle, comfortable support without the pressure of an underwire. We do also carry a selection of underwire styles for those who prefer them and are suitable for them.
From the fabric and construction to the cup shape and support, every detail is carefully considered to provide comfort and functionality—without sacrificing beautiful style.
Do Surgical Mastectomy Bras Come in a Variety of Styles?
Absolutely!

We proudly offer one of the largest selections of mastectomy bras in Ontario, with our styles kept in stock so you can shop and take your selections home the same day.
Will You Have My Size? How Will You Know My Size?
We offer an extensive size range from 32AA to 52G, with a variety of cup shapes and styles to accommodate different body types and needs.
Your fitter will determine your size through professional measurements and by assessing how different styles fit your body. Bra sizing is not simply about taking a measurement—cup shape, breast or chest wall shape, symmetry, and the style of the bra can all affect the fit.
Your appointment is dedicated entirely to you. Your experienced fitter will explain the process as you go, answer your questions, and help you understand why a particular size and style works for your body.
Our goal is to find a fit that feels comfortable, secure, supportive, and flattering.
Could My Bras Be Covered by Private Insurance?
Many private insurance plans provide coverage for surgical mastectomy bras and related garments. However, coverage varies from one plan to another.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider before your appointment to confirm your specific coverage and any requirements for reimbursement.
If you need documentation or assistance with the insurance process, our team is happy to help guide you through it with care and discretion.
Can I Wear These Bras If I Haven’t Had Breast Surgery?
Absolutely.
You do not need to have had breast surgery to shop with us. Many of our clients come to us simply because they are looking for exceptional comfort, support, and thoughtful bra design.
Mastectomy bras have pockets on both sides of the bra, which means they can accommodate a breast prosthesis on one side while comfortably fitting a natural breast on the other. If you don’t need a prosthesis, the pockets simply provide an additional layer of softness and structure inside the cups.
Many of our bras also feature soft, breathable, high-cotton or moisture-wicking fabrics that can provide an added level of comfort.
Our extensive size range and variety of cup shapes make these bras a wonderful option for many women, including those who are looking for additional support and gentle containment as their bodies change over time.
Can I Continue to Buy These Bras After Breast Reconstruction?
Absolutely.
Our collection is designed to support women at many different stages of their journey, including after breast reconstruction.
After reconstruction, many women prefer the gentle support of a wire-free bra, particularly while tissues are healing and changing. The majority of our collection is wire-free, with styles designed to provide support and structure without digging into the skin or placing unnecessary pressure around sensitive areas.
As with any bra following breast surgery, the right style depends on your individual healing process, comfort, and the recommendations of your healthcare team. Your fitter can help you explore options that feel comfortable and appropriate for where you are in your journey.
If you have had breast surgery, you may also have coverage available through your private insurance plan for eligible mastectomy bras. We can help you understand the documentation you may need.
Whether you use a breast prosthesis, have had reconstruction, or simply want a more comfortable and supportive bra, our goal is the same: to help you find something that feels good, fits beautifully, and gives you confidence.
