DIEP Flap Surgery Bundle
What's in the Breast Reconstruction with Flap Surgery Bundle?
Brobe Robe
- 6 pockets inside the robe for JP drains
- Soft, comfortable fabric that will not irritate surgery incisions
- Three-quarter length sleeves for easy IV access during treatment
- Synched at the waist, giving it a wrap dress-style look
- Incredibly soft cotton blend fabric; stylish enough to wear out of the house
The 3-in-1 Belly Binder: Includes 3 separate pieces that allow you to protect and compress the upper, mid and lower torso. This 3-way compression helps brace and support your midsection and lumbar spine, and also reduces fluid buildup that is very common after surgery. It is breathable and comfortable, and it won't roll or shrink when washed.
The Pocketed Pillow: Super soft, machine washable pillow, designed to hold hot/cold packs for targeted hot/cold therapy relief.
The Plush Hot/Cold Gel Packs (2 count): Thermal therapy packs can be frozen or heated and fit perfectly into robe pockets and pillow. If heating, microwave for 30 seconds at a time until desired temperature is achieved.
The Post Surgical Drain Belt is a unisex, one size fits most, elastic belt that can be worn under clothing to hold post op drains during surgery recovery. The belt can also be worn in the shower, if you’re cleared to bathe during surgery recovery, giving you the option to shower independently.
Breast Reconstruction Recovery
Breast Reconstruction surgery recovery typically takes 6 - 8 weeks. During this time, you are likely to experience:
- fluid drainage (collected with JP drains)
- localized pain at incisions
- swelling & bruising
- general discomfort
- hot flashes
- reduced mobility & independence
