But it can be a bit overwhelming - so we've found 10 comfy mastectomy bras that look gorgeous as well as feel great. What is a mastectomy bra? You will normally be able to go home the day after your operation. If you've also had breast reconstruction, you may need to stay in hospital for up to a week depending on how you're recovering.

Below is the list of our approval from NDIS

Simply put, a mastectomy bra is specifically for anyone who has had surgery on the breast and has had one or both breasts removed. They're designed to be gentle on scar tissue and are more comfortable to wear than a 'normal' bra. This is a time limited policy which will be in place until September 2020 and will be reviewed at the end of June 2020. While choice used to be rather limited, lots of lingerie brands are now offering mastectomy bras, so you wouldn't even know it was any different to your regular bras. They also tend to be non-wired as a hard underwire can often irritate scar tissue and feel uncomfortable on any sensitive areas. Getting a new bra post-surgery is a huge confidence boost, helping you to feel yourself again and feel more feminine.You are responsible for the safe return of products to us, including the cost of doing so. It is recommended that you insure your return parcel in case of loss or damage.

NDIS has recognised the vital role these devices play in ensuring you can continue to receive support throughout COVID-19, so they have made it possible to pay for them using your NDIS funding. AT may be equipment or systems which help you with moving around your home or community, communicating with other people, processing information, and other daily tasks. Having a womanly figure isn't the only reason that a post-mastectomy bra can be beneficial - they can also help to support your chest and the tissue that remains. With many therapists now providing support remotely, you may be able to use your NDIS funding to buy an iPad or tablet to help you access these online sessions. Assistive Technology (AT) provides the support a person with a disability might use to reach their potential at home, in the community and the workplace.

Come back when you're older

Talk to your doctor if you're unsure about the timing for your recovery, they will help you to determine if your surgery location has healed enough to wear a bra. Most people find they take around 2 to 3 weeks to heal, but it may be several months before your chest and arm area fully recover. The area will be bruised, swollen and stiff at first. If you chose a prosthesis, you'll usually be given a temporary lightweight one at the hospital, then be fitted with a longer-term prosthesis and given advice on bra fitting 6 to 8 weeks after the operation. Support may be included in your NDIS plan where it is a reasonable and necessary support that will meet your needs and help you pursue your goals.
