MARENAB2 Adjustable Shirred Front Shoulder Closure Post-Surgical Bra

After my breast augmentation surgery, I was searching for a bra that would provide both the comfort and support I needed during recovery. The MARENA Women’s Flexfit Shirred Front Bra has been a lifesaver!The material is incredibly soft yet supportive, and it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin or incision areas. The shirred front design and adjustable straps make it easy to fit comfortably without feeling too tight. I especially appreciate how it provides gentle compression, which has helped reduce swelling and made me feel more secure throughout the day.The bra also holds up well after washing, retaining its shape and elasticity. It’s been the perfect companion for my recovery, giving me peace of mind and helping me feel confident even during this delicate phase.If you’re recovering from surgery and need a high-quality, comfortable post-op bra, I can’t recommend this one enough!

Let me say it again for the folks in the back: in order for this bra to fit/work, you MUST measure yourself right before ordering and follow their sizing directions. You CANNOT buy your normal bra size - it will be way too tight in most cases. I had a breast reduction at the end of June and ordered this for my recovery bra rotation. I'm approximately a 34C after my reduction, but I ordered a 40 B/C in this bra because of my actual measurements that I took at the time I ordered (35" underbust, 40" overbust, I was still swollen a bit). That actually put me in the 40 AA/A category but I knew by the time I got this I wouldn't want super tight compression anymore so I sized up in the cup (if I had gotten this in time to use right after surgery, I probably would've gone with the AA/A). It fits great, is comfortable and has enough compression to keep things from moving around but not so much that it is uncomfortable on my still-tender incisions. The hook-and-eye closure on the front also has three columns so you can fit it looser or tighter on a given day depending on what feels best. It also doesn't show under clothes nearly as much as my zipper-front recovery bras. One other big benefit of this one for me over my other recovery bras is that the lower band DOESN'T ROLL. So many of my other recovery bras roll at the bottom band and it is so annoying - this one doesn't!

The one and only reason I give this a 4 instead of a 5 star is if you have incisions that go along your sides, the side straps are quite uncomfortable over those incisions. Which is the case with all the brands I’ve tried. The brand and quality itself are outstanding and merit 5 stars. In fact, this is THE best brand I’ve tried, and I’ve tried many brands for post surgery compression. They have another model (style BNRZ) that the bands are wider so it cuts less (doesn’t land) into your side incisions. Check out the manufacturer website for all the styles they carry. Almost always the pics of the product are on smaller models (which is true for this brand), so it doesn’t look like the sides will cut into incisions; however, the pics are misleading for American general population ladies sizes - this was a frustrating and expensive journey to learn this.

This is comfortable even though I just had surgery.

Very very small in size and thin material!

I bought this for post surgery BA healing. My surgeon gave me one and I ordered an extra from here. If they’re good enough for my surgeon to hand out, they’re good enough to buy. I’ve been wearing them for 5 weeks now and they’re the most supportive of all my post surgery bras. There’s lots of room for adjustments as healing and swelling changes.

I really wanted to like this garment. After suffering with the velcro on other compression garments, this one offered 3 rows of adjustable eye hooks that are much more comfortable. However, this compression garment is much too short. It is oddly super itchy and hits right on your incisions and rubs terribly. If it were a bit longer, and came up higher under the arms, it would but great. If you've just had implants, I'm sure it would be fine. It should not be marketed to breast lift/reduction patients as it's not an acceptable garment in these cases.

This bra has worked great for a recent breast lift surgery. Very comfortable and washes up in the washing machine using a lingerie bag very well. Highly recommend and am considering purchasing another one as a back up while one is in the wash. I purchased the beige color.
