NEARLY ME® Lace Bandeau Mastectomy Bra A pretty soft cup mastectomy bra with delicate lace styling at the top edge of each cup. This style looks beautiful with any prosthesis. Wide side panels under the arms give support and added coverage. Firm elastic straps comfortably hug the shoulder to help stay in place. Cotton lined pocketed cups add comfort and breathability. Imported. Available in white only Fitting a brassiere is just as important as fitting a prosthesis, if not more so. Bras come in a variety of styles and materials. Because tastes differ, you should have several types of brassieres available when fitting a prosthesis and bra. Your preference, physique, amount of remaining natural tissue and the type of surgery will help determine the correct brassiere style for you. Look for choices that match your established tastes. If the bra does not fit well, judge whether the style or size - or both - need correction. We recommend measuring yourself before you begin fitting your bra and prosthesis. Since your surgery, you may have lost or gained some weight, this will change your natural breast size. This measurement is the best starting point for your fitting. You should be completely healed and free of any skin breakdown before you begin the fitting process. Measuring for the correct band size... With a bra on, take a snug measurement from the center of the breast bone around the body under the natural breast. If the measurement is uneven (29”, 31”, 33” etc) then add 5” to this measurement. Example: 31” around the body + 5” = 36”. You would probably wear a 36 band bra. If your body measurement is 39” or more add 3” instead of 5”. Example: 39” + 3”=42”, or a 42 band bra. If your body measurement is even (30”, 32”, 34” etc) add 4”. Example: 32” + 4” = 36”. Do this on all even measurements. Any measurement that falls between an inch should always go up to the next inch. This is the bra band or girth size. You may need to go up or down a size because this measurement is only a guideline. The correct cup size... Measure from the center of the chest around the fullest area of the natural breast to the center of the back. Take that measurement times 2. Example: 19” x 2 = 38” If this measurement is: the same or up to 1” larger than the bra size......A cup 1” - 2” larger than the bra size..........................B cup 2” - 3” larger than the bra size..........................C cup 3” - 4” larger than the bra size..........................D cup 4” - 5” larger than the bra size..........................DD cup This is the correct cup size (again, this may vary if you have to go up or down a size on the band size. Example : a 36C cup fits like a 38B cup.) The correct bra and cup size for the bilateral (double mastectomee)... Measure around the rib cage as described above. This is your bra size. The correct fit is important as there may be complications with too small or too large breast prosthesis. Consider height, weight and figure type. If you are 5’10” tall will full hips, generally do not fit yourself in an A cup bra. Use your best judgement. When choosing a breast form for yourself it is important  to replace the weight lost after surgery so you are able to maintain proper  balance and posture. Selecting the proper shape and size breast form begins with  determining the type of surgery you have had and the best style of bra that fits your remaining breast. As you choose a breast form, take into consideration the type of natural breast tissue that is  remaining, the skin, and tissue firmness.
