Here are some helpful tips in choosing the best bra after undergoing a mastectomy:
- Wide, comfortable and adjustable straps are crucial for reducing the risk of Lymphedema developments.
- Good separation between the cups, with a deeper centre that sits against the breastbone will ensure the breast form is secured firmly and cannot be visible if the wearer bends forward. Deeper cups are also preferable.
- Opt for deep side wings under the arms and no stiffeners to avoid rubbing or chafing on the scar tissue from lymph gland removal.
- Appropriate depth in the cup will accommodate the breast form.
- Pocketed bras are best for housing the breast.
- For optimum comfort, opt for bras with soft fabrics and seams.
- As advised by surgeons, we have found that wire free bras are, generally, better.
- Multi-sectioned or pre-formed cups generally give a better and fuller shape.
