With the right post-mastectomy garments, you can look and feel your best during your recovery phase. Kelly Bee Recovery designs an innovative line of post-surgery clothing including a front snap bra to help you do precisely that. Our mastectomy bra with snap in the front is designed with ease of use, comfort, and convenience in mind, providing exceptional support and style.
This bra is intended for surgical recovery, not to hold prosthetics. While it can fit smaller lighter prosthetics, our Mastectomy Bras with Prosthetic Pockets have a larger pocket for inserting and holding prosthetics.
Frequently Asked Questions About Mastectomy Bras that Snap in the Front
What is a mastectomy bra that snaps in front, and how does it differ from a regular bra?
A mastectomy bra that snaps in front is specially designed to accommodate your limited range of motion after surgery. Different from a regular bra, it is easier to put on and take off without causing irritation to the surgical site. It has softer seams and deeper side and front panels to provide optimal comfort.
What material is used to make Kelly Bee Recovery’s snap front bras?
Our mastectomy recovery bra is made of a blend of nylon and spandex. This combination is soft and breathable, providing flexibility and just the right amount of stretchiness to allow freedom of movement.
What are the benefits of using mastectomy bras?
The mastectomy surgical bra is designed to promote faster recovery and reduce discomfort during this period. It provides a blend of support and compression to minimize swelling and improve the healing process. A snap front mastectomy bra helps to support the tender breast tissue and alleviate discomfort after surgery.
How can I choose the right snap in front bra for my cup size?
Right after the surgery, you are likely to experience some swelling, and it is advisable to choose a bra that is one size bigger than your usual size. Kelly Bee Recovery recommends sizing up from your normal shirt size. Please see the size chart in the last photo.
Can I wear mastectomy bras that snap in front with a prosthetic?
These bras can be used for smaller, lighter prosthetics. The opening is small and may need to be cut to insert the prosthetic. For larger, custom and heavier prosthetics, we have special mastectomy bras with prosthetic pockets.
How long should I wear post-mastectomy bras with snaps in front after surgery?
You should wear post-mastectomy bras for the period that your surgeon stipulates, which is typically between two and eight weeks. Note however that our bras are both comfortable and stylish enough to be worn even after recovery.
