Finding the right post-mastectomy products is about much more than buying a bra or breast prosthesis. It is about finding the right fit, comfort, balance and support for your body after breast cancer surgery. At Leila O’Toole by Elleran, we have been supporting women through their breast care journey in Sydney for more than 70 years. Located in the heart of Sydney CBD, our specialist breast care centre provides personalised, one-to-one fittings for women following mastectomy, lumpectomy and breast reconstruction. More than a post-mastectomy shopAfter breast cancer surgery, every woman’s needs are different. Some women have had a single mastectomy, while others have had bilateral surgery. Some have undergone reconstruction, while others choose to wear an external breast prosthesis. Lumpectomy can also leave changes in breast shape or volume that require a balance shaper or partial prosthesis. This is why we believe a specialist fitting service makes such a difference. At Leila O’Toole, we take the time to understand your surgery, your body and what you need from your breast care products. Our private fitting environment allows you to try different options and see what feels comfortable and looks balanced under your clothing. Breast prosthesis fitting in SydneyA well-fitted breast prosthesis or balance shaper can help restore symmetry following breast surgery. We offer a range of breast forms and partial prostheses designed for different surgical outcomes, body shapes and lifestyles. During your fitting, we consider factors such as:
Specialist mastectomy bras and post-surgery brasA regular bra is not always suitable after breast surgery. Mastectomy bras are specifically designed to accommodate a breast prosthesis or balance shaper, with secure pockets and construction designed for comfort. For women who are recovering from surgery, we also provide post-surgery and recovery bras designed to provide gentle support while your body heals. Our range includes specialist brands such as Anita and Amoena, with options for different breast shapes, sizes, levels of support and lifestyles. A proper fitting can make a significant difference. A bra that is too tight, too loose or incorrectly positioned can affect comfort and the way a breast prosthesis sits. Breast reconstruction supportBreast reconstruction can create its own set of fitting challenges. Even after reconstruction, women may experience differences in breast size, shape or projection. Some may benefit from a balance shaper, partial breast form or specially designed bra. We work with women at different stages of their reconstruction journey and help identify practical options that can improve comfort and balance. Lymphoedema and compression supportBreast cancer treatment can sometimes lead to lymphoedema, including swelling affecting the arm, breast or chest wall. Leila O’Toole also provides specialist lymphoedema compression garments, including compression bras and sleeves where clinically appropriate. As a registered NSW Health ENABLE provider, we can assist eligible customers with compression garment fittings and supply in conjunction with their treating health professionals. The right compression garment needs to be properly assessed and fitted. It is not simply a matter of choosing a size from a shelf. Mastectomy swimwear and swim formsGetting back into the water can be an important part of feeling like yourself again. We stock mastectomy swimwear and swim forms designed to securely accommodate breast forms while providing comfort and confidence in the water. Whether you are looking for a swimsuit for everyday swimming, holidays or simply enjoying summer again, we can help you explore suitable options. Help with your health fund and eligible claimsUnderstanding what you can claim after breast cancer treatment can sometimes be confusing. Depending on your circumstances and eligibility, we can assist with information relating to Medicare, private health insurance, NSW Health ENABLE and DVA. Our team can explain the relevant paperwork and help you understand what documentation you may need for your claim.
