Surgery Bras - Before and After

Comfort bras are absolutely a personal passion of mine - I love when a woman praises her foundation garments for their ability perform with ease and grace. While we have many options for seamless, softcup, no underwire bras, the particular focus of this post will be the pre- and post-surgery bras.

Women who have to go through radiation, chemotherapy or other procedures that make their skin sensitive are always pleased with the Blue Canoe organic cotton bras. There are no metal clasps or plastic adjustment pieces either around the back or over the shoulders, and the velvety cotton feels substantial enough to replace a traditional bra. The most popular style is Jen's Bra [pictured] but there are several variations to accommodate different body types.



The Blue Canoe boasts some of the most comfortable pre-surgery bras, but post-surgery, you may need an entirely different type of bra. Blue Canoe offers two different kinds of front closure cotton bras - after rotator cup surgery, for instance, a bra that hooks or zips up the front offers a much easier time getting it on and off.

Many women come into the store post-breast reduction surgery with instructions from their doctors to get a compression bra with no underwires. Apparently the science behind this has to do with trying to keep fluid retention low for the most lasting results. And for compression we have two I highly recommend:

Lunaire's front close comfort bra has a very supportive cup, and can encompass a broad range of sizes. The hooks at the front clasp are simple and secure, and it feels and looks the most like a traditional bra, in my opinion.

If you would rather a sportier, racerback style compression, Moving Comfort's Grace bra [pictured] has long been a popular pick for post-breast reduction due to its wicking, moisture-management fabric (great for the upcoming season!) and ease of use with the quick zipper front.



Regardless of your particular situation, the associates at Jo Karen are always pleased to offer the latest and greatest in foundation solutions.

See you soon!
