If you have undergone breast surgery, whether it was a mastectomy, lumpectomy, augmentation or reduction, you may need special bras for after surgery. These bras are crafted with your comfort and healing in mind. They offer gentle compression, protection and support to your breasts after surgery to aid recovery and ensure you confidently embrace life.
Different types of bras are needed after breast surgery, depending on the surgery and recovery stage.

Post-surgery and mastectomy bras play a vital role in the healing process of breast tissues. Not only do they provide emotional support and boost women’s confidence, but they also have quite a few physiological benefits as well. Post op bras prevent the breasts from swelling by improving blood circulation and helping the scars heal faster. Such bras also lessen the pain and discomfort while keeping the breasts in place. With less movement, the healing process will go much faster. Gentle breast tissue needs more protection after the surgery, that’s why wearing a post op bra is essential during the recovery process. Providing just the right amount of compression, such bras allow women to move more freely and get back to their regular activities as soon as possible.
The fit of a post-surgery bra is crucial for both recovery and comfort. It should provide gentle compression while not being too tight. The straps should comfortably stay in place without digging into your shoulder or slipping off. Post-surgery bras should be adjustable to accommodate the change in your breast's shape, size, and swelling that could occur in the healing process.
