Breast reconstruction surgery following a lumpectomy or mastectomy can often lead to some unique bra problems. This may become an added burden but with the proper care, you can feel comfortable and look great post-surgery.
Post-Surgical Care

Your doctor will recommend the best type of bra for you post-surgeries. A common recommendation is to wear a surgical compression bra. A medical-grade compression bra will hold your breast in place while simultaneously healing. This garment also help with proper drainage. Your doctor may also suggest a soft cup bra, non-underwire bra, or sports bra. Always follow your surgeon's advice and bra recommendations during the healing process.
For women who are having a delayed reconstruction or more than one breast reconstruction surgery, I recommend an adjustable breast form. An adjustable breast form has removable filling that can be customized to your specific size needs. You can also remove the filling and the shell can be used to smooth the breast without any added size. The ability to reduce the size of the breast form is ideal for women who'd like to purchase only one prosthesis during the course of their surgeries. For more information, check out the Anita 1057X Equitex prosthesis.
Bras for Women with Breast Reconstruction
A main fitting difference for women with reconstructed breasts is the lack of nipples. Most bras have extra space to fit the nipple so women with reconstructed breasts may find that the cups gap or dent at the center. To help prevent this problem, I suggest a bra with heavy lining. A lined or molded cup can also help breasts look more symmetrical.
Most women who have had reconstruction surgery wear non-underwire bras. Not only are bras without underwire more comfortable, they are also more forgiving of uneven breasts. There are a great deal of supportive soft cup styles in a variety of colors and sizes. One good choice is the Wacoal Soft Cup Bra. This bra has no underwire and has double lining; I've fitted many women with reconstructive surgeries and they love it!
