The Blackwell Bra: The Original Post-Surgical Bra

Developed by breast surgeon Dr. Lea Blackwell, the Blackwell Bra is a post-operative compression bra that provides optimal support for recovery from mastectomies and other breast surgeries.

Many patients experience significant swelling secondary to the surgery, and the bra functions to reduce the swelling and enhance comfort after breast and chest procedures. Typical post-surgical bindings offer no way to support the drains or reduce bruising. And while compression can help reduce swelling, some patients found their dressings to be oppressive rather than helpful.

After witnessing her patients’ post-op struggles, Dr. Blackwell designed a garment to minimize discomfort and promote healing, and the Blackwell Bra was born.
