Breast Care Victoria

I had full abdominal liposuction, went for fitting, was only recommended one garment to try on because of my short torso. Was not offered any other garments to try on. When I went home to properly use the garment, it kept slipping down because it was only meant for lower abdomen. I asked for exchange I was told no. Wasted my $185 even though it was not my choice of garment, it was based on incorrect fitting. Unfair, unreasonable. I was even made to pay a fee for a disposable face mask at entry.

Finding Gen Gort ten days after my surgery has been a blessing. Gen was able to fit me in quickly, provide me with the right garments that gave immediate relief and support.But most importantly Gen provided me with compassion, understanding and great care……right at the time when most needed.On top of all of that, Gen was a great communicator from the start of my enquiry to the end of the consultation.So Gen Gort - take a bow! Keep on being you and keep looking after all the women around you ♥️

Zero star. I bought stage 2 compression garments from their website and I regret it so much. I did the measurements several times and still the garment was very large and absolutely useless. I emailed them and have not heard back. Terrible customer service. Wrong product. They do not care enough to even reply to you.

It really was a pleasure to be fitted in Genevieve’s home studio, post reconstructive bilateral mastectomy.I am a former bra designer and I have always sewn my own bras, in this instance I was unable to make my own garment and was recommended to get fitted at Breast Care Victoria by my plastics team from the Royal Melbourne Hospital.Genevieve who is the face behind Breast Care Victoria is charming and very accommodating. She was swift to answer my queries and establish an appointment time that worked for me.When I arrived Genevieve was warm and inviting and quickly set about finding the right garment for me. Being a former nurse that has worked in operating theatres and extensively with breast care, she has an amazing knowledge of what is required for recovery. There was instant relief for me when I was fitted with the right garment, definitely an ahhh that feels so much better" moment.Thank you Gen

Once again I have had extremely favourable dealings with Genevieve. I have had a lot of difficulty buying suitable bras for myself since having had a mastectomy and then going on to have a reconstruction. Gen has been there the whole way through with not only friendly support but professional advice and services. Gen has an amazing range of bras and if you are in need of this type of service do not hesitate to get in contact with her, you will not be disappointed.Genevieve has been extremely helpful & caring through my whole breast cancer journey. Genevieve is so professional in what she does but at the same time she is very approachable & friendly. She keeps her clients up to date with all the latest mastectomy garments. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone in need of the service she offers to make an appointment with her.

I first went to see Genevieve some 6 weeks post bilateral mastectomy due to cancer. The cheap bras from a major retailer recommended by the hospital weren't just not doing the job in terms of support, they were actively uncomfortable, cutting into my reconstructed breast, and offering no support.Breast Care Victoria is a passion project, Genevieve is committed to providing the best possible support to people post surgery. She offers a range of post surgical compression garments and she offers her considerable knowledge and expertise. I am going back for my post surgical non-compression bras because I simply cannot think of anyone else I would trust with my post surgery breasts. If you are having surgery - get your post surgical garments here - if you have had any kind of surgery on your breasts, even if it was not recently, I still think you could not do better than what Genevieve at Breast Care Victoria can offer. Also - supporting a local, family run business!

Genevieve was most helpful with my fitting recently. After having two lumpectomies, first being over 13 years ago, I was unaware that this service was available. I’m so pleased with my new shapers. Thanks for all of your professional advice and assistance Genevieve.

I was referred to Genevieve by my breast care nurse at the hospital I had my lumpectomy last November. I had put up with a swollen breast and a lot of pain and discomfort for a couple of months after a year of chemo and radiation.I has spent so much money on so many bras but couldn't find one to fit well.As soon as I spoke to Genevieve, she listened to me and understood the need to see me quickly. I was lucky and got in to see her on the same day.As soon as I walked in the door, Genevieve assessed me and knew exactly what I needed. The moment she fitted the bra to me I was overwhelmed with relief of the sheer comfort it instantly provided me.She was very professional and understanding. Her help didn't just stop there. I was in the process of looking for a lymphoedema physio but hadn't got onto anyone yet. Genevieve realised the urgency of finding care for me that she instantly called a clinic who I was able to see that same day.By the time I got home, the relief from the new bra and my physio appointment was so incredible, I had the best sleep in a long time.I went back one week later to also get fitted for some bathers and there was a great range to chose from. As the swelling had subsided in my breast, she recommended a partial breast shaper to insert into my bra and bathers. And it made a big difference to how my breasts were shaped.I am so glad I was put in touch with Genevieve.She shows understanding for women, takes the time to listen and fits you to suit your body type and of course taking into consideration of your individual needs. She also provides very accurate and simple to follow instructions on how to get to her studio.Thank you Genevieve, you have made me feel so much better.
