Post-Surgery & Mastectomy Bras

Stylish & comfortable post-op mastectomy bras

Wondering where to buy post-mastectomy bras in Australia that deliver on comfort, fit, and fabulous style? Our post-surgery bra collection is here to provide you with superior comfort when you need it most, and aid you in regaining your confidence.

We’ve scoured the globe to source high-quality products that offer perfect fit and shaping, so that you can continue to wear your favourite clothes with exactly the same silhouette as you had pre-surgery, even if you choose a soft cup mastectomy bra over a padded one. Naturana’s post-surgical mastectomy bras for example come with over a century of lingerie know-how built into their design!

Choosing the best post-mastectomy bras for healing

Immediately post-surgery, you’ll have specific bra needs. In particular, you’ll want a style that’s easy to get on and off with minimal movement, for which we highly recommend a front-fastening bra. Royce Lingerie’s collection of post-surgery mastectomy bras includes a style created especially for this early post-op period, which has antibacterial fabric and also includes drop-down cups to allow easy access to surgical sites while you’re recovering. You can even wear it with a ‘softie’ insert if you want to.

You’ll also want to prioritise comfort. A cotton lining for example will allow the skin – including any still-healing scars – to breathe, while a wireless mastectomy bra is an ideal choice since underwires might rub on and irritate incision sites.

Post-mastectomy reconstruction bras to wear with breast forms

Once the healing process is complete, you can switch to wearing post-mastectomy bras with inserts that weigh closer to what a natural breast would. Our bras for post-mastectomy wear are all bi-laterally pocketed, so they work whether you need post-double mastectomy bras or you’ve had a unilateral mastectomy or lumpectomy only. While some regular bras come with pockets to hold removable padding, these may not always be large enough for a breast form, or able to hold one securely – you’re better off buying bras with pockets designed especially for this purpose.

If you’re full-busted with a unilateral mastectomy, you may be feeling anxious about finding a bra that will provide adequate support for your remaining breast. While post-surgical bras for mastectomy inserts are typically wireless, don’t worry. Wireless doesn’t have to mean unsupportive! Most of the support in a bra actually comes from the band (with a wider band providing added ‘hold’), so it’s perfectly possible to find a supportive bra for mastectomy breast forms that doesn’t rely on underwires. Simply look out for a tall band, and it’s a bonus if the bra also has wide shoulder straps which bolster support further and enhance comfort.
