Wearing an underwire bra before breast sensitivity returns can cause unnoticed soreness where underwires press on scarring.
Rigid underwires also create lines of pressure that can restrict lymph flow and increase the risk of oedema.
For 6-12 months after recovery from surgery or radiotherapy, a non-underwire bra with slightly wider band and straps and slightly higher cleavage line distributes pressure more evenly over the chest, breast and underarm where lymph nodes and vessels may have been damaged or removed.

Each type of reconstruction tends to have a slightly different breast shape, and this affects bra style.
To achieve the look and comfort you expect, you may need a different bra style to what you are used to. A STUDIO fitting can be a better way to find the right bra.
Temporary nipple tattoos create the visual image of the nipple when deciding about nipple reconstruction.
Self-adhesive silicone nipples have the shape and colour of the natural nipple and are a way to achieve the look of the nipple without further surgery.
Surgery may result in a noticeable difference in breast shape.
When less noticeable, the right bra can balance the breast line. When more noticeable, a partial form can correct shape, volume and alignment.
A STUDIO fitting can be a better way to find the best outcome.
