Choosing The Right Post Breast Surgery Clothing

Choosing what to wear post breast surgery can be daunting, but there’s no need to lose your sense of comfort or style.

Start with the basics

Overcoming the trauma of breast cancer is physically and emotionally challenging as a mastectomy makes a huge change in a woman’s life. We get stronger and tougher with a new awareness about our bodies. So, unavoidably, there’s a new set of thoughts when selecting post breast surgery clothing.

There’s no reason why your operation should limit the variety of your wardrobe or hamper your sense of style.

Neckline 

While being momentarily restricted in the neck area might seem to decrease your selections, remember the changes in your body that are generally far less noticeable to others than they appear to you.

Natural Symmetry

A loose-fitting top with a decent neckline is an easy starting point. Then, with the combination of perfect breast form and bra, you can attain a look of natural symmetry without showing your cleavage.

Create a Focus Point

Ideal for casual or smart dressing tops with ruffles, gathers, knots, and drapes give your outfit texture and make a focus point.  

Improvise on the Go

Wear the clothes that you love. Don’t rule out dresses or tops with a revealing neck until you try it on with a Cami. Otherwise, use a scarf to get the coverage you need.

Find a Perfect Fit

While shopping for tailored dresses, take note of where the arrow sits. This gives you an idea of how a dress or shirt will fit around the breast area before you have even tried it on.
