Reconstruction
If you’re having reconstruction whether it’s following a mastectomy or lumpectomy, reducing or increasing your breast size your surgeon has probably recommended that you purchase a bra with mild compression for after surgery. They may have even said all you need is a sports bra.
This can be a very challenging process. Not all bras are the same & what do they mean by mild compression. What size should I get? Should it have a zipper in the front, etc? These are all great questions.
I have a bra called the Patricia that will provide exactly what you need. I try to carry one of every size at all times so that when you come to see me you can take it home with you. I have fitted many clients with this bra so I know how the surgeon’s want it to fit.
If your reconstruction is being done following a mastectomy then you’re going to have one to four drains depending on which surgery is being done. I carry drain pouches that can be attached directly to the band of this bra & then removed when they are no longer required.

Specially designed for wear during the reconstruction tissue expansion process, this form is extra-gentle to sensitive areas as it helps balance out a woman’s silhouette. Three-part system: Clear silicone shell offers shape and support; Non-irritating fiberfill for use in adjusting volume; and Soft, breathable fabric cover holds silicone shell and fiberfill.

During tissue expansion most women want to maintain breast symmetry to feel feminine and look natural every day. She has probably chosen this type of surgery because she does not want to wear a breast form, but the challenge is to find a breast enhancer that achieves the cosmetic effect she wants during the expansion process, while adapting to her changing shape and protecting sensitive tissue.
