Support After Surgery Isn't One Size Fits All

Recovery after breast-related procedures is deeply personal. Whether you’ve undergone a lumpectomy, mastectomy, breast augmentation, needle biopsy, or gender-affirming surgery, one truth remains: comfort, compression, and dignity matter. And yet, traditional post-op bras often fall short—offering a one-size-fits-most solution for a wide variety of recovery journeys.

The Problem with Traditional Post-Op Care

Standard post-surgical bras are often rigid, ill-fitting, and non-adjustable. They assume a uniform body shape and healing experience, leaving many patients feeling unsupported—both physically and emotionally. Worse, when additional support is needed, the “solution” is often an ACE wrap layered over the bra. This added compression isn't always comfortable, secure, or easy to manage during recovery, especially for those experiencing pain, swelling, or limited mobility.

Instead of simplifying the healing process, these outdated solutions can add stress and discomfort at a time when patients need ease, rest, and care the most.

A Better Way: The You Are Supported Recovery Bra

We designed the You Are Supported Recovery Bra because healing should never come with compromise. This cutting-edge garment is engineered for adjustability, comfort, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for those recuperating from any upper chest trauma—including breast, heart, lung, shoulder, or upper torso surgeries.

It’s also a game-changer for people experiencing limited mobility or range of motion due to shoulder surgery, impingement, rotator cuff issues, or arthritis. Getting dressed shouldn't be a battle—especially during recovery. That’s why we made sure every closure and strap was thoughtfully placed for ease and independence.

✅ Size-Inclusive by Design

  • Two fully adjustable shoulder straps provide customized lift and support, accommodating asymmetry or swelling on one or both sides.

  • Two separate chest band adjustment zones ensure a snug but comfortable fit under the bust and around the torso, no matter your body shape.

  • Three closures- 1 Front, 1 on each side, each independently adjustable by up to 2 inches, allow for easier dressing, inspection, and drainage tube access—without sacrificing compression or security.

Whether you’re wrapping up a long day of follow-up appointments or managing drains at home, the You Are Supported bra helps reduce hassle and increase comfort.

Who Is This For?

If you've undergone any of the following, this bra was made with you in mind:

  • Mastectomies and Lumpectomies

  • Breast Augmentations or Reductions

  • Needle Biopsies or Painful Mammograms

  • Gender-Affirming Top Surgery

  • Heart and Lung Surgeries

  • Shoulder Surgery, Impingement, or Arthritis

  • Upper Chest Trauma

  • Surgeries requiring compression for drainage or swelling

Your body—and your healing—are unique. It's time your recovery garments reflected that.
