What the AI looks for in Women's Mastectomy Bras
- Prosthesis pockets
- Pockets on both sides that fully enclose the form and keep it from shifting when you lean over. Two pockets let you use one or two forms and wear the bra after a single or double mastectomy.
- Closure
- Front closure in the early recovery period. Limited shoulder and arm movement after surgery makes back hooks hard to reach.
- Wire and seams
- Wire-free, with soft or flat seams over the scar area. Surgical sites and radiated skin are sensitive to pressure and rubbing.
- Coverage
- Higher neckline and underarm coverage. Hides the prosthesis edge and covers tissue removed from the underarm or lymph area.
- Fitting
- Get fitted with the actual prosthesis you will wear. The bra and form have to work together for symmetry.
Brands that matter
- Amoena: Breast-care specialist making both bras and prostheses.
- Anita: Anita Care line with broad cup sizing.
- Royce: UK maker of wire-free and pocketed bras.
What to avoid
- Regular underwire bras without pockets right after surgery.
- Choosing a style before you have your surgeon's go-ahead on compression and timing.
- Thin or loose pockets that let the form slip.
Questions
Can I add pockets to a regular bra?
Yes, pocketing can be sewn into a regular bra, but purpose-made mastectomy bras also add coverage and softer construction.
