Our Story
Like many of you, breast cancer has touched us personally, affecting many near and dear people in our lives. But it was our mom’s experience with breast cancer that inspired us to stand up and find a way to support others on their journey.

“My mom had open heart surgery and she loves the Larissa Bra! It’s super comfy, breathable and soft. Easy to put on and has nice compression. Best company to deal with, they actually answer the phone and care about you and your recovery. We will be suggesting them to anyone who needs breast, heart or lung surgery.”– Rachel
“Surgery on the breast is a challenging by its nature, yet recovery from it can be less so. Managing dressings, drains or protecting some areas can be quite straightforward. Using tape to hold a dressing irritates the skin quickly. Using an ace wrap is tedious and it often slips in minutes after application with even limited activity by the patient. The drains are awkward and need something to hold and protect them. So what is the answer? An easy-to-wear post-surgery bra. In the case of my patients who need a specialized bra, I simply send them to heart&core ahead of the surgery, and life for my patients (and for me) gets much easier.”– Pawel Stachowicz, MD, Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Authentic Plastic Surgery, LLC
"Comfortable after rotator cuff surgery. Was able to put on without assistance during those first few weeks of recovery. Very comfortable to wear.”– Amazon Customer
“I love seeing my patients on their next visit after I have given them these bras. They are so excited and grateful for a bra of this quality and one that offers so much comfort. I love seeing my patients smile. Who would’ve thought a bra could ever do that!”– Wendie L. Snyder, RN, Clinic Nurse Supervisor for Plastic/Cosmetic Surgery, Geisinger Medical Center
“The Larissa Bra is a must have when recovering from a mastectomy. It offers comfortable compression and a place for the surgical drains.”– Amazon Customer
“Comfortable bra for shoulder surgery. My daughter had rotator cuff surgery and this bra was perfect. She could get it on and off without help and the shoulder strap was closer to her neck than a regular bra and didn't rub or put pressure on the incision.”– Amazon Customer
“Awesome. Needed a bra post clavicle fracture surgery. Only bra that has front Velcro and Velcro straps! Easy to put on and comfortable."– Amazon Customer
“BEST post surgery bra ever! This is an amazing bra for after having a bilateral breast reduction. That material is stretchy and comfortable. The nurses RAVED about this bra after my surgery in the hospital."– Amazon Customer
“Aesthetically, the Larissa Bra made me feel confident in my clothes. The pads in the post surgical bra created balance where I was lacking. Also, the four tabs of Velcro allowed me to secure my drainage bulb strategically to reduce bulge underneath my clothing. Technically, I could not imagine not having this bra during post-op. It kept my breasts secure. I hurt terribly when I felt any bump while riding in the car, and this post op bra minimized the pain.”– Tyechia, Breast Cancer Surgery Patient
“Breast surgery Post-Op must have. Got this for my mom as a gift after her breast reduction and she LOVES it so much she ordered more for herself. She states her recovery wouldn’t have been as easy as it’s been without these. She also states they’re so comfortable and soft but give enough support to keep everything in place.”– Amazon Customer
“It's awesome! It is a great product. Feels very comfortable and secure and enough compression but it doesn’t bother you! I would definitely recommend this item!!”– Amazon Customer
“The Larissa Bra was better than the one given after a recent double mastectomy. The racer back is very comfortable, the Velcro front closure is very strong as are the drain loops.”– Mary, Double Mastectomy Patient
“The material is amazing and it stretches with your body. Because the main bra including the front Velcro closure and sides are where most of the support is, the straps do not bother you at all. It’s the first time in as long as I can remember that the bra straps were not an issue. They barely felt like they were there and they both have a front closure option on them using a larger size piece of Velcro. The first day I had this bra on, I had been wearing it for over 18 hours and I didn’t even feel like I was wearing one since it was total comfort.”– Amazon Customer
“Great substitute for the ones given after surgery. Pocket for insert, comfortable and easy to use.”– Amazon Customer
"I bought this bra after having rotator cuff surgery - it is comfortable and very easy to put on and take off. It washes very well - recommend hanging dry so the velcro stays flat. Worth every penny!”– Amazon Customer
“Very comfortable, good fit, just what I needed after breast surgery. Little pocket inside perfect for ice pack.”– Helen C.
“I had my reconstruction on both sides redone (yes ladies after enough yrs most times it needs to be done). This is my fourth surgery on both sides so I think I can give a very candid and experienced review. This bra is very true to size so that helps immensely when having to order specially bras. Also there are two size tabs w/ velcro to make small adjustments to the band. Very good compression factor, very comfortable without being too bulk under clothing. Easy bra to wear 24/7 if need be while recovering. Well worth the cost for the value. Great for after reconstructive revisions or initial reconstructive surgeries.”– CR
