What is a "fitting appointment"?

A "fitting appointment" is specifically a scheduled time dedicated to fitting breast forms and garments to meet the unique needs of a patient who has undergone a mastectomy or has other breast-related concerns. During this appointment, a certified fitter evaluates the patient's individual requirements, taking into account factors such as body shape, size, and personal preferences. The goal is to ensure that the fit is comfortable, supportive, and meets the aesthetic desires of the individual, enhancing their overall quality of life post-surgery.

In this context, other options refer to different types of appointments. Consultations for surgical procedures are focused on discussing potential surgeries, while follow-ups are typically about ongoing health assessments. Counseling sessions aim to provide emotional support but do not involve the fitting of garments or prostheses. Each of these has distinct purposes, but a fitting appointment is singularly focused on the physical fitting of breast forms and supportive garments.
