You may find this checklist helpful when thinking about the questions you want to ask your fitter.

  1. Have you been specially trained to fit breast forms?

  2. How long will the fitting take?

  3. Can I bring a support person to the fitting?

  4. Do you have a private room for fittings? Does it have a covered mirror?

  5. Is it possible to be measured for a breast prosthesis and/or mastectomy bra without removing my bra?

  6. Do you have a wide-range of styles and colours?

  7. Can you order in other styles?

  8. How can I care for my breast form?

  9. What can I do if I don’t like the breast form I bought?

  10. What is the guarantee period for my breast form?

  11. I need to give the original receipt to Medicare; can I have a copy for my records?
