Choosing lingerie and swimwear after breast surgery can feel daunting but knowing where to look makes all the difference. Although you can find post-surgical lingerie and swimwear on the high street, the choice is often quite small and so visiting a specialist retailer is often far more helpful. They will usually have specialist lingerie and swimwear fitters who are trained to fit women who are using a breast form, may have sensitive areas following surgery or who are simply nervous about having a fitting because of their previous experiences with breast surgery.

Post-surgical swimwear doesn’t have to feel frumpy or conservative. Modern designs come in a wide range of colours, prints, and silhouettes, allowing you to express your personal style while still meeting your practical needs.

Depending on the surgery you have had, there are various options open to you that include bikinis, tankinis and one pieces just as there were before breast surgery. You should look for designs that offer support, comfort, and confidence—features like soft cups, adjustable straps, and higher necklines can help if you have scarring that you want to cover or need to protect sensitive skin from too much sun. If you are using a breast form then you should look for a pocketed style that keeps the form securely in place while swimming and moving around. Eloise stocks a range of post-surgical swimwear and bikinis with pockets carefully integrated, so they don’t compromise the look of the garment.
