Let’s talk about breast reconstruction
Welcome to Buckle Up Your Bra
You're here because someone told you that you need breast reconstruction, or you're already in the middle of it and nobody gave you a packing list. Either way, you're in the right place.
This site is simple. I've had a double mastectomy, implant reconstruction, capsulectomy, and now a DIEP flap. Four surgeries. Years of figuring out what to pack, what to buy, and what nobody thinks to warn you about. I wrote it all down so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
How this works: Pick your procedure from the list page. Each link has a list of everything you'll actually need, for the hospital, for home recovery, and for the stuff that catches you off guard. Every list is printable. Every product I recommend is something I've personally used. That's it. No treatment talk, no staging, no medical advice. Just the practical, logistical, "what do I put in my bag" stuff.
This is free. Some product links are affiliate links, which help keep the site running, they cost you nothing extra. Read more about me and why I made this → here.
