“I had several post-mastectomy bras after my double mastectomy, but the Resilience Bra was hands down my favorite. It quickly became my go-to bra during recovery, and honestly, I still wear it now because it's that comfortable. I just love it.”
“After waking up from my bi-lateral mastectomy, the recovery wear was suitable, but not comfortable. The sides of the bra put tremendous pressure on my drainage sites. My plastic surgeon had given me the resilience bra to try, and wow! What a difference!! It's comfortable, adjustable, and supportive! I highly recommend for anyone who is going through breast surgery!”
“Over the past two years, I've witnessed the evolution of the Resilience Bra, and I believe it's a game changer for my breast surgical patients. The bra's adjustability allows for a customized fit, ensuring comfort and support during the crucial healing period. Without exception, my patients have raved about the comfort, security and sense of normalcy during their recovery.”

First-Time Fit
A step-by-step walkthrough to help you feel comfortable and confident from the start.
Lift the compression band up before putting the bra on. With the band lifted, the fabric has more stretch, making it easier to fasten and zip up comfortably.
Fasten the silver hook & eyes at the bottom and middle of the bra first for easy application. Then zip up fully, holding the bottom of the bra down as you zip. Finish by folding the zipper tab down to lock it in place.
Fasten the shoulder straps to your comfort level — this also affects posture support, so find the balance that feels right for you.
Pull the compression band fully forward for maximum compression, partially forward for moderate compression, or remove it completely for no compression — adjust anytime based on how you're feeling.

Size Chart
If you fall between sizes, we suggest sizing up for added comfort.
Grab a measuring tape
You'll need a soft measuring tape to get an accurate underbust measurement.
Measure under your bust
Wrap the tape snugly around your ribcage, directly under your bust, keeping it level all the way around. Record the measurement in inches.
Fit Tips
Between sizes? Size up for the most comfortable fit.
Sizing up several cup sizes? Even if your underbust measurement is true to size, go up a size for more comfortable coverage through the cup.
All colorways share the same size chart. Fabric is 4-way stretch — designed to accommodate swelling during the first weeks post-op.
