Description

FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY

This disclosure relates generally to field of feminine undergarments and, more particularly, to a medical bra to aid in minimizing inflammation and discomfort while enhancing the appearance of an unnaturally shaped breasts of a post-surgical patient.

BACKGROUND

A medical bra may be created to minimize inflammation and/or discomfort of a breast area after surgery. For example, the medical bra may be designed to permit a tissue to recover and/or may offer some compressive support. However, the medical bra may be uncomfortable and may result in an appearance of unnaturally shaped breasts when worn under a shirt. In addition, a wearer of the medical bra may feel added strain and/or weight in their breast areas after surgery, requiring them to frequently uplift their breasts using their hands. Such behavior may not be appropriate in public settings. For this reason, many women may choose to not wear the medical bra, creating risk of delayed recovery and/or medical complications.

An example embodiment will now be described. Emily Diaz may have undergone surgery for breast cancer recently. Emily may have been advised by her physician to wear a medical bra to permit the tissue around the surgical area to recover and/or offer some compressive support to her breasts. However, Emily may have found the medical bra uncomfortable and felt added strain and/or weight in the breast areas. The medical bra that Emily may have been using required her to uplift her breasts frequently using her hands. This may have caused Emily a great deal of embarrassment in public surroundings. For this reason Emily may have chosen not to wear the medical bra and avoid going out in public places resulting in increased risk of delayed recovery and/or developing medical complications post-surgery.

For relief, Emily may have been introduced to the new medical bra (e.g., as shown in the various embodiments of FIGS. 1-3) by an old acquaintance. Emily may have found this new medical bra (e.g., as shown in the various embodiments of FIGS. 1-3) comfortable and light. Use of this new medical bra (e.g., as shown in the various embodiments of FIGS. 1-3) may have reduced the inflammation in the breast area and may have accelerated the healing of the tissue around the surgical area. In addition, the new medical bra (e.g., as shown in the various embodiments of FIGS. 1-3) may have enhanced her post-surgical unnaturally shaped breasts saving her from embarrassment in public surrounding. Thus, Emily may develop a renewed sense of confidence. Emily may now begin her daily routine of going out and enjoy being at public places without being conscious of her appearing awkward wearing her new medical bra. In addition, Emily may be able to recover faster using her new medical bra (e.g., as shown in the various embodiments of FIGS. 1-3).

An example embodiment has been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed invention. Accordingly, other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.

The structures and modules in the figures may be shown as distinct and communicating with only a few specific structures and not others. The structures may be merged with each other, may perform overlapping functions, and may communicate with other structures not shown to be connected in the figures. Accordingly, the specification and/or drawings may be regarded in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense.
