Collection: Shoulder Surgery Bras

These bras have a convenient front closure, which allows for easy wearing and removal without putting strain on the shoulder area. They provide excellent support and stability during the healing process.

Karlee Smith offers a range of racerback bras that are specially designed with a T-shaped back. This thoughtful design helps to keep the straps closer to the sides of the neck, reducing pressure on the shoulders. Additionally, some of our racerback bras are convertible, providing you with the flexibility to remove or change the straps to suit different needs. Whether you are looking for added comfort or versatility, our racerback bras are a perfect choice.

You can find a wide variety of Karlee Smith bras with adjustable straps that are designed to provide a comfortable and customizable fit. These bras are particularly beneficial for women who have undergone shoulder surgery or have shoulder issues. The adjustable straps allow you to reduce pressure on the affected shoulder, ensuring maximum comfort throughout the day. Whether you're looking for post-surgery support or simply want a bra that can adapt to your needs, our adjustable strap bras are a popular choice among our customers.

Whether you're looking for extra support during physical therapy sessions or a more comfortable option for everyday wear, our non-traditional bras are an excellent choice. They are structured to accommodate the unique needs of patients recovering from shoulder surgery, providing the necessary support without compromising style or comfort. 

With our non-traditional bras, you can feel confident and comfortable during your recovery journey. Choose the option that suits you best and experience the difference it can make in your daily life.

After the initial recovery period, patients can gradually transition to wearing more traditional bras. We suggest starting with non-traditional styles that provide additional support and comfort. As your shoulders continue to heal, you can gradually increase the pressure on them by opting for bras with over-the-shoulder straps.

Remember, the key is to prioritize your healing process and avoid any unnecessary strain on your shoulders. Feel free to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your specific needs.

Strapless bras are a great alternative for those who want to avoid shoulder strain from regular over-the-shoulder-straps bras altogether. These bras can be worn without shoulder straps, and you can stick some fashion tape to secure them onto the breast for more safety.

One of the primary advantages of strapless bras is their ability to alleviate shoulder strain. Unlike regular bras with shoulder straps, strapless bras distribute the breast weight evenly across your chest, reducing the pressure on your shoulders. That makes them an excellent choice for individuals who need to avoid any additional strain on their healing shoulders.

It's normal to experience pain after surgery. To ensure a comfortable recovery, it's important to follow the pain medication prescribed by your surgeon.

Swelling and bruising around the surgical area are to be expected. Applying ice and keeping the shoulder elevated can help reduce these symptoms.

Initially, you may find it difficult to move your shoulder freely. Your surgeon or physical therapist will provide you with exercises to improve your range of motion over time.

During the recovery period, the muscles around your shoulder may weaken. To regain strength, it's essential to gradually engage in strengthening exercises under the guidance of a physical therapist.

There is always a risk of infection after surgery. To minimize this risk, it's crucial to follow proper wound care instructions and promptly report any signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or drainage, to your healthcare provider.

Although rare, nerve damage can occur after shoulder surgery. If you experience any unusual sensations such as numbness, tingling, or weakness, it's necessary to inform your surgeon as soon as possible.

It's common to experience stiffness in the shoulder joint after surgery. Regular physical therapy and consistent exercises are essential for preventing and addressing stiffness.

Adhering to the prescribed recovery plan is vital for a successful recovery. Attending scheduled physical therapy sessions and performing recommended exercises at home are useful steps to regain full function.

Some medications prescribed for pain management or to prevent complications may have side effects. It's important to be aware of potential side effects and communicate any concerns to your healthcare provider.

Surgery and the recovery process can be mentally challenging. It's normal to feel frustrated, anxious, or even depressed. Openly discussing your feelings with healthcare providers and seeking support from loved ones can be helpful during this time.

A one-strap bra does not put pressure on the injured side which is essential as it allows for painless recovery.

Many one-strap bras have customizable straps that patients can loosen or tighten to provide relief to their affected shoulders while they recover.

One-strap bras are often made of soft breathable materials that reduce the chances of irritation during the recovery period.

Certain one-strap bras convert from over-the-shoulder straps to strapless or racerback styles, offering variety in attire options for those who are convalescing from shoulder surgery.

One-strap bras are more manageable when dressing and undressing without exerting pressure on the healing muscles, hence an appropriate choice for people who are recuperating from their operation on their shoulder.
