After a mastectomy, finding the right bra is more than just about comfort—it’s about confidence, support, and feeling like yourself again. At Leila O’Toole and Elleran Lingerie, we specialise in post-mastectomy breast care and offer a range of mastectomy bras with built-in prosthesis to suit every woman’s needs.
Where to Buy Mastectomy Bras with Built-In Prosthesis in AustraliaIf you’ve been searching for mastectomy bras with built-in prosthesis near me, you’ll be glad to know that both Leila O’Toole Breast Care Sydney and Elleran Lingerie stock a carefully curated collection from trusted brands such as Anita, Amoena, and Trulife. These bras are designed with pocketed cups to securely hold your prosthesis, providing both comfort and a natural shape.
Does Medicare Cover Breast Prosthesis and Bras?Yes! In Australia, Medicare offers a Breast Prosthesis Reimbursement Program, which allows eligible women who have had a mastectomy to claim up to $400 every two years for new breast prostheses. While mastectomy bras themselves are not covered by Medicare, some private health funds may contribute towards the cost. At Leila O’Toole, our trained consultants can help guide you through the process so you can make the most of your entitlements.
Can You Wear a Prosthesis in a Normal Bra?It’s possible, but not always recommended. Normal bras often lack the pockets and structural support needed to securely hold a breast prosthesis. Mastectomy bras with built-in prosthesis pockets are designed specifically for this purpose—they prevent shifting, ensure comfort, and help maintain balance and posture.

How to Get Free or Affordable Mastectomy BrasSome hospitals, breast cancer support groups, and charitable organisations occasionally provide free mastectomy bras or prostheses. Additionally, Medicare rebates help reduce costs. At Leila O’Toole and Elleran Lingerie, we’re committed to ensuring every woman has access to the right fit, and we can assist you in exploring all available options.
What Kind of Bra Should You Wear After a Mastectomy?Immediately after surgery, soft, non-wired post-surgery bras are best—they’re gentle on sensitive skin and help with recovery. Over time, many women transition to full coverage mastectomy bras with built-in prosthesis for everyday wear. These offer maximum support, comfort, and a natural silhouette.
The Best Mastectomy Bras with Built-In ProsthesisSome of our most popular choices include:

• Amoena Lara & Mara Bras – lightweight, everyday comfort with seamless design.
• Anita Care Bras – known for superior support and softness.

Our experienced fitting specialists at Leila O’Toole and Elleran Lingerie are here to provide personalised fittings, ensuring you leave with a bra that feels as good as it looks.

✨ At Leila O’Toole Breast Care Sydney and Elleran Lingerie, we believe every woman deserves to feel confident and supported after a mastectomy. Whether you’re looking for mastectomy bras with built-in prosthesis, post-surgery support, or guidance on Medicare claims, we’re here for you.

• Built-in pockets for breast prostheses ensure a secure fit and natural silhouette.
• High-quality, chlorine-resistant fabrics offer durability and comfort.
• Stylish designs that celebrate your body, your strength, and your story.

Whether you're heading to the beach, the pool, or a tropical getaway, our swimwear lets you move with confidence and grace.


🏊‍♀️ The Role of Prostheses in SwimmingSwimming with a breast prosthesis isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about balance, posture, and comfort. Water can amplify asymmetry, and a well-fitted swim prosthesis helps:

• Maintain body symmetry while floating or swimming
• Prevent neck and back strain caused by uneven weight distribution
• Restore a sense of normalcy and confidence in public spaces

We offer a range of swim prostheses that are water-resistant, lightweight, and designed to stay in place — so you can focus on enjoying the moment.
