BREAST CANCER SURGERY

The good news is that wearing Reco Bra® 24 hours a day for the standard six week rehabilitation period should make your healing quicker and easier. If you are recovering from breast cancer surgery it is possible to experience greater comfort and pain management with the use of a post-operative bra like the Reco Bra®.

Whether you have had a bilateral or unilateral mastectomy, wide local incision (lumpectomy), wire guided biopsy, lymph node removal, breast reconstruction or any other breast cancer procedure, the Reco Bra® is the best choice for your individual surgical care. You may have to go through more than one type of surgical procedure throughout your treatment and we hope that the Reco Bra® will take you all the way through your breast cancer healing journey.

Reco Bra® has no uncomfortable seams, just gentle compression to hold dressings in place or even a lightweight prosthesis. At the front, the Reco Bra® allows the material to lay flat if you choose not to wear a prothesis. If a patient has had a mastectomy, the gauging will allow the fabric to lie flat and the patient can choose whether or not to fill the space with a softie or lightweight prosthesis. We designed the front gauging pleat system with the mastectomy patient in mind.

Included in the Reco Bra® design are our unique compression zones that are built into the fabric. These compression zones provide comfortable non-wire ‘under bust’ support for both breasts or for one breast in cases of unilateral mastectomy. Support zones are also situated within the bra fabric in the thoracic area of the spine.

Careful consideration on many levels has helped us to create this unique one brand one bra product. We have also been mindful not to use stereotypical models in our marketing promotions and every care and attention to detail has been carefully executed in the Reco Bra® design, especially for breast cancer. We hope to have provided breast cancer patients with gentle comfort and support for their healing journey.
