Larissa Bra: FAQs
How many post-op bras should I buy?
How many post-op bras should I buy?
Most people find 2–3 Larissa bras enough to rotate through recovery — one to wear, one in the wash, and a spare for the first few days when drainage is heaviest. If you're having a bilateral (double) procedure or expect a longer drain period, buying 3 is worth it for the flexibility.
Can I sleep in the Larissa bra?
Can I sleep in the Larissa bra?
Yes, Larissa is designed for 24/7 wear during recovery, including sleep. The wide, non-rolling band and soft fabric are built to stay comfortable overnight, and the drain holder keeps bulbs secure so they don't shift or pull while you're lying down. Always follow your surgeon's specific post-op instructions on wear time.
How long do I wear a drain management bra?
How long do I wear a drain management bra?
This depends on your surgeon's guidance and how quickly your drains are cleared for removal, typically 1–3 weeks post-surgery. Once your drains are out, many people transition to the Serena bra, which has the same front-closure comfort without the drain tabs, though you can keep wearing Larissa without the attached drains.
Will Larissa work for a single or double mastectomy?
Will Larissa work for a single or double mastectomy?
Yes to both. Larissa's internal pockets hold a single or paired breast form/puff, and the drain holder manages up to four drainage bulbs, so it works whether you have one drain or several from a bilateral procedure.
Will it fit over reconstruction expanders?
Will it fit over reconstruction expanders?
Larissa's soft, stretch fabric and adjustable Velcro straps and band are designed to accommodate the gradual size changes of tissue expansion. If you're between sizes or swelling is significant, sizing up is recommended.
Is Larissa covered by insurance, FSA, or HSA?
Is Larissa covered by insurance, FSA, or HSA?
Larissa is FSA/HSA-eligible through SIGIS certification and can qualify for insurance reimbursement. Check with your provider on their specific documentation requirements.
Can I wear Larissa after a lumpectomy, breast reduction, or augmentation?
Can I wear Larissa after a lumpectomy, breast reduction, or augmentation?
Yes, Larissa is suitable for any upper-body breast surgery involving drains, including lumpectomy, reduction, and augmentation, not just mastectomy.
Find Your Perfect Size
The Larissa Post-Surgical Bra, Serena Bra and Shirl Bra feature adjustable bands to help customize your fit. However, if you are larger chested, we recommend that you order a size larger for comfort. If you border between two sizes, we recommend that you order the larger size.
Always be sure to try on your bra before surgery with the tags still on in case you need to exchange it.
