Since 2005, Compassionate Beauty™ has been providing women with support, products and services to maintain their comfort and body image while going through cancer treatment and onward to survivorship.
Being diagnosed with breast cancer is a life-changing moment in a woman's life.
Compassionate Beauty has been helping women just like yourself for over 16+ years.
First step is to ensure you have what you will when you leave the hospital and begin your recovery.
Mastectomy Camisole (click the link) with drain management.
This product should be ordered before surgery.
Second step Please remember to take your surgical camisole with you to the hospital. The camisole is designed specifically for women who are recovering from mastectomy or lumpectomysurgery and experience pain with limited mobility. Most mastectomy camisoles come with an opening in the front that allows for an easy change of garments for maximum comfort. Recovery camisoles come with inside pockets to hold breast forms and post-surgery drainage bulbs.
Recovery Bras are also an option for women post surgery. Make sure to add your drainage pouches as they aren't included with the bras.
Although many products are best chosen with our certified fitters, sometimes circumstances are such that we order on-line. For many women ordering their favourite bras or favourite tank top is just easier on-line as well.
