Not sure how to find the right bra size after your mastectomy? Here’s everything you need to know.
Why wearing the right bra size is important
Wearing the right bra size after a mastectomy is essential for a few different reasons. Undergoing a mastectomy can change the size and shape of your breasts, meaning that the bras you wore before your surgery might not fit. In this transitional phase, a well-fitted bra offers crucial support and unmatched comfort.
Here’s why you should check your bra size after surgery, and make sure you’re wearing the right type of bra:
- Comfort: After a mastectomy, your body goes through significant changes, and you deserve to feel as comfy as possible. Wearing the right bra size ensures your tender areas get the gentle support they need.
- Support: The right bra keeps your remaining breast tissue well supported and helps maintain healthy blood flow.
- No poking and prodding: We get it – nobody likes a poking underwire or slipping straps. A well-fitted bra means no more annoying adjustments throughout the day.
- Less pressure: a well-fitted bra that is not constricting can help maintain lymphatic flow.
- Healing: Let your bra help you through your healing process. The right fit can provide the gentle support you need.
Don't underestimate the power of a well-fitted bra after your surgery. At Amoena, we're dedicated to supporting you throughout your healing and recovery so you can feel confident and comfortable.
