After breast reconstruction, choosing the right bra is crucial for comfort and support. Here are some key points based on my knowledge base:

- Supportive Sports Bras: Many find that sports bras without seams are comfortable, especially if they have soreness or pain.
- Front-Closure Bras: These can be easier to put on and take off, especially if you have limited arm movement.
- Avoid Underwires Initially: Underwire bras can be uncomfortable and may not allow good lymph flow. It's often recommended to wait before wearing them.
- Insurance Coverage: Health insurance may cover the cost of specific bras if prescribed by your doctor.

Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
