After breast surgery your body undergoes so many changes; we recommend that you check the fit of your post-mastectomy bra and prosthesis approximately every three months. As a guideline the following three steps should assist you with this process:

• Does the prosthesis fit perfectly in the bra?
  Is it too small/too large in relation to the intact side?
  
  Choose another size if necessary. 
   
• Is the prosthesis the right shape?
  
  Choose another size if necessary. 
   
• Is it too flat, or does it not lie flat?
   
  Choose another shape if necessary.

The post-mastectomy bra

• Does the bra lie properly against the ribcage?
  
  
• Do the cups contain the whole breast?
  
  
• Does the neckline sit properly?
  
  
• Are the straps cutting in?
  
  
• Is the underbust band cutting in?
  
  If your bra does not fit properly for any of these reasons, choose another size and/or bra style if necessary.

With a swimsuit: 

• Does the swimsuit fit properly at the neckline?
  Especially when bending forward? No?
  
  Choose another style.
  
  
• Are the straps, armholes, rear neckline or legholes constricting? Yes?
  
  Choose another cut or size.
  
  
• Are all surgical scars perfectly concealed? No?
  
  Choose a style with a different cut.
  
  Repeat this check after three months, as the body changes after major surgery of this kind.
  

Finally:

Dress in a tight T-shirt - then take a look in the mirror to judge the fit for yourself.
