What to Wear After a Lumpectomy or Mastectomy: The First 6-8 Weeks

After a lumpectomy, mastectomy, or breast reconstruction, finding the right bra is essential for comfort and healing. During the first 6-8 weeks, your surgeon may recommend a supportive, non-wired front closure bra for easy wear and gentle compression. At Myya, our front closure bras are thoughtfully designed with post-surgery needs in mind.

Our bras feature soft, breathable fabrics and adjustable straps to accommodate restricted arm movement. While pocketed bras are often recommended for breast prostheses, many post-surgery patients may not require them initially. At Myya, our pocketed bras offer versatile comfort—the pockets fold back into the cup when not in use, adding an extra layer of soft lining. This ensures you have options as you heal, without sacrificing comfort or support.

Why Choose a Front Closure Bra?

- Ease of use: Front closure bras allow for easy dressing when arm movement is limited.
- Gentle compression: Our non-wired designs offer gentle compression, promoting circulation and reducing swelling.
- Adjustable support: Wide, soft straps and adjustable closures provide all-day comfort and support during recovery.
