After a breast operation or mastectomy, it is highly recommended to wear a supportive bra with front clasp as it is easier to put on and take off. It is preferable to choose a bra made from soft Cotton. Pockets, placed on both sides, will discreetly hold your foam breast form in the month or two following the operation.

Which bra AFTER breast surgery?

After a mastectomy, it is recommended to wear soft post-operative bra models and to use appropriate post-operative lingerie. This promotes healing and your recovery. First, choose a seamless post-op bra with front closure and breast prosthesis pockets.

Also, be sure to choose non-wired post-op bras so you don't irritate your scars.

Among all our choices, our team recommends the following models:

Postoperative bra Frances de Amoena: Ultra soft and very comfortable, this is our bestseller. Even more practical is a post-mastectomy set with an Ameona bra by Frances Schwarz and an Amoena foam transitional prosthesis. If you prefer adjustable straps, check out the Fleur post-op bra, which should meet all your expectations.

Lison organic cotton postmastectomy bra from Coeur de Lys. Available in multiple colors, Lison's soft post-operative bras are ideal for maximum everyday softness.

The postoperative bra Anita Care Isra. With buttons and Velcro on the front, it's ideal if you're looking for a post-operative bra without staples.

Finally, you must wear your post-mastectomy bras for at least 2 months, which is the time that allows the skin to heal properly. You can then opt for modern and, why not, more attractive prosthetic bras.

Can you get a bra refund for breast cancer?

Unfortunately, Oncovia cannot yet charge prescriptions, as we do not yet have the supply contracts with the health insurance companies.

The only thing we can advise you is that you ask your health insurance company whether you will receive a refund after paying in advance with the prescription and the invoice. That probably depends on the goodwill of the respective health insurance company.
