Mastectomy Lingerie?
For women who have had breast surgery such as lumpectomy, mastectomy, or other invasive and reshaping surgery for their breasts due to breast cancer, there are options to dress tastefully and fashionably without it being obvious that you’ve had this sort of breast surgery. A specialty company that I got an email about called Eloise (Eloise.co.uk) that specializes in creating fashions (and they’re really classy and fashionable from what I saw in the few prints that were featured in the PDF cover they attached in the email) for women who have undergone everything from minimally invasive surgery on their breasts to radical double mastectomies.
How does this mastectomy ligerie work? Well, it features a design with pockets in the side that help keep prosthetics in place so that they look totally natural and no one would ever know the difference. This way you can wear clothes that are really nice looking without worrying about your prosthetic sticking out or being noticeable. They also make swimsuits in one and two pieces, and feature hats and beach bags, and even sarongs, to go with them so you can be matching as well.
Many of their swimsuit designs feature a lot of support, so they are over the shoulder straps or double straps over the shoulder instead of a traditional string bikini where there is just one string tying over the neck, so that you are fully supported and covered where it matters most. Losing part of your breast or both of your breasts to surgery can be a totally traumatic and life altering experience, to say the least, so it’s good to know that you can shop for up to date, classy pieces of clothing that won’t leave you exposed and fit you to a T.
