Post-mastectomy recovery can be a challenging process, often involving discomfort from swelling, tightness in the chest and pectoral muscles, and pectoral scarring.
These symptoms can cause significant strain on the neck, shoulders, and back and require gentle, supportive care to ease discomfort and improve mobility during the healing process. Forme’s non-invasive, posture-correcting wearables can be worn during recovery, rehab, or daily life to promote better outcomes and long-term comfort.

What are the symptoms of post-mastectomy?
After a mastectomy, common symptoms can include swelling, tightness across the chest and armpit area, restricted range of motion, scar tissue formation, and posture imbalances. Many individuals also experience neck, shoulder, and back discomfort.
How does Forme® help in post-mastectomy care?
Forme® posture-correcting wearables support recovery by promoting natural chest expansion and pectoral stretching to help reduce swelling and painful scarring. Made with dynamic tension fabric, they gently guide posture into proper alignment, easing strain on the shoulders, neck, and back. The wire-free, open design avoids pressure in sensitive areas like the armpits, enhancing comfort and mobility, especially for underarm swelling. By activating postural muscle memory and supporting chest alignment without compressing scar tissue, Forme® helps restore symmetry, relieve discomfort, and improve confidence during the healing process.
How often should I wear Forme® post-mastectomy?
For optimal results, wear Forme® daily, gradually increasing wear time as comfort allows.
