What Do I Wear Home After Surgery? Masectomy Bra?

I didn’t wear anything, but I had a double mastectomy. Just comfortable clothes that you can button up or zip up and that are wide. No need to worry about bras….
Hi! I wore a soft cotton hoodie with interior pockets to hold the drains, a bra would have been too uncomfortable for me. If you won't have drains, then maybe something that zips up the front and is easy to put on; most can't lift their arms overhead immediately after the mastectomy. Also, I brought a pillow to cushion the car shoulder belt for the ride home; mine was a long thin couch pillow, but there are some specially designed ones for sale on web sites. Good luck with your surgery!
