Comprehensive Services for
Post-Mastectomy Care

Colleen Deines offers a range of essential services to help patients regain their sense of self and well-being after mastectomy surgery:

  1. After Surgery Care: Colleen provides personalized post-mastectomy care that caters to the unique needs of each patient. Her expertise ensures a smooth and comfortable recovery process, minimizing discomfort and complications.
  2. Precise Measurement for Bras and Prosthetics: Properly fitted bras and prosthetics are essential for restoring a sense of balance and confidence for mastectomy patients. Colleen’s meticulous measurements guarantee a comfortable fit that helps patients feel more like themselves.
  3. Medicare Coverage: Understanding the financial burden that post-mastectomy care can bring, Colleen works with patients to ensure they receive the benefits they are entitled to. Medicare covers up to four bras per year and prosthetics every two years, helping ease the financial stress associated with post-mastectomy care. (Private insurance varies.)

The Importance of Proper Fitting

The proper fitting of post-mastectomy bras and prosthetics is not merely a matter of comfort; it can have a profound impact on a patient’s physical health and overall well-being. Without the right fit, patients can experience various issues, including:

  • Spinal Curvature: An ill-fitted bra or prosthetic can lead to spinal curvature over time, causing discomfort and pain.
  • Shoulder Drop: Uneven weight distribution can result in shoulder drop, leading to muscle strain and discomfort.
  • Muscle Contracture and Stretching: Poorly fitted prosthetics can lead to muscle contracture and stretching, causing pain and limited mobility.
  • Chest Compression: An improperly fitted garment may compress the chest, affecting lung function and exerting pressure on the heart.
  • Balance Problems: Uneven weight distribution can affect a patient’s balance, leading to potential falls and injuries.
  • Poorly Fitting Clothes: Ill-fitting bras and prosthetics can make it challenging to find clothing that fits well and feels comfortable.
