Phase 1- Post Surgery

You may experience swelling, discomfort, and slight limitations in range of motion. We have a variety of products to assist with your healing and our trained professionals will work with your Physician to provide you with the products appropriate for your unique needs.

Post-Surgical zipper front close camisoles with supportive shelf bra - accessories include hidden drain management pockets and light weight fiber fill breast forms that provide, balance, symmetry and a layer of protection over your surgery site.
Post-Surgical front close leisure bras - accessories include drain management pockets and light weight fiberfill breast forms. These bras are perfect to wear if you are undergoing radiation treatments, as the cotton is soft and breathable and will not irritate any areas of discomfort.
Front-Close compression bras assist with swelling reduction - accessories include drain management pockets, light-weight fiberfill breast forms, and compression belts designed for breast implant stabilization.

Phase II- 2 Weeks Post Surgery

Phase 2 begins when your range of motion improves, swelling starts to subside, your drains are removed, and your physician may place Steri-Strips on your surgery site. You may also begin the expansion process if you had reconstructive surgery. We will work with your Physician to move you into this next phase of recovery products that will give you the confidence and comfort you need to resume some normal activities.
