  • Brassieres designed to be worn continuously to protect and stabilize breasts, and to protect and secure surgical sites, stitches, and drains, during the post-surgical healing period. Surgical procedures might include breast reduction, breast lift, breast implants, mastectomy, or breast reconstruction. Post-surgical bras are constructed of an elasticized fabric chest band that wraps around the woman\'s torso, two cups to hold the breasts, and two shoulder straps. They are typically fastened by a hook-and-eye closure in either the front between the cups or at the back of the bra on adjustable bands. Some post-surgical bras are designed to provide compression all around the torso for women with chest or breast lymphedema. Post-mastectomy bras include pockets in the cups into which external breast prostheses can be placed.
