Postoperative Bra

What do you think of when you hear the word "healing?" It is a term that has countless positive connotations throughout our society. To be healed is to be cured of some pain, illness, or problem. To be healed is to feel strong and whole again. To be healed is to place a bandage over the wounds of the mind and the body--a bandage which, though it may work slowly and steadily, has the power to repair what has been broken. Of course, "healing" also has more literal meanings, the definitions that conjure up images of white lab coats, bottles of antibiotics, and glimmering medical utensils. However, no matter what comes to mind when you think about healing, the truth is that healing of all kinds can often use a helping hand.

After surgery, healing is the top priority, and it has to be a team effort between mind and body. However, sometimes the body needs a little help, and that's where a postoperative bra comes in.

Postoperative Bras

Postoperative bras are garments created to offer support and comfort to a patient's entire chest after surgery--whether it's heart surgery, a mastectomy, or cosmetic reconstruction. This means that all postoperative bras are a little bit different; they must meet the varying needs of a wide variety of patients. However, the key to using a postoperative bra to speed healing and make a patient comfortable is to find the right garment for each patient's unique needs and recovery goals.

What to Look For

Our Postoperative Bra experts know how important it is to match the right garment to the right patient. Here's a quick look at what to consider!
