Reco Heart
Reco Bra (formerly Bree Post-Op Bra)
Description
The Reco Bra® Post-Surgical Compression Bra (formerly known as the Carefix Bree) is designed to provide flexible, comfortable support following breast surgery, including augmentation, reduction, reconstruction, mastectomy and lumpectomy. Combining a seamless, wire-free 3D knit construction with integrated Zone Tech compression zones, the Reco Bra provides gentle support that adapts to changes throughout recovery. Its adjustable front hook-and-eye fastening, fully openable shoulder straps and breathable four-way stretch fabric make it practical for day and night wear.
The Carefix Reco Bra was formerly known as Bree. The bra remains essentially unchanged, with a new name and updated packaging.
If your preferred Reco size or colour is unavailable, we may still have remaining Bree stock.

We recommend purchasing two bras — one to wear and one to wash — so you always have a clean, comfortable garment available during recovery.
Why You'll Love It
- Seamless 3D knit: knitted in one piece to minimise seams and ridges against sensitive skin.
- Zone Tech compression: targeted support zones are knitted into the fabric for gentle, structured support.
- Adjustable front fastening: hook-and-eye closure opens fully for easier dressing and can be adjusted as swelling changes.
- Soft, openable shoulder straps: wide, cushioned and adjustable for comfort, with access for wound checks or dressing changes.
- Wire-free, four-way stretch: flexible fabric accommodates changes in shape during recovery.
- Soft longline under-bust band: provides comfortable support without a traditional underwire.
- Devan Bi-Ome® antimicrobial finish: helps control odour and keep the garment fresher between washes.
- Designed for day and night wear: soft, breathable and moisture-managing fabric.

How to Measure
Sizing Tip: Start with your usual bra band and cup size, and check the Reco size chart below. If you expect post-surgical swelling or fall between sizes, the manufacturer recommends considering the larger garment size. Follow your surgeon's advice if your surgery will change your breast size.
Step 1: Identify Your Band and Cup Size
Use your usual bra size as a starting point. Confirm your under-bust measurement with a flexible tape measure and use the chart to find the corresponding Reco size.
Step 2: Find Your Reco Bra Size
Find your band measurement across the top (cm, with the manufacturer's corresponding inch band size in brackets) and cup size down the left-hand side. The cell where they meet gives your suggested Reco garment size.

Between Sizes or Expecting Swelling?
The manufacturer recommends the larger size if you are unsure. Adjustable front fastenings and four-way stretch help accommodate changes as swelling settles.
Important: The Reco Bra uses a different published sizing chart from the earlier Bree listing. Please use this Reco-specific guide rather than assuming your previous Bree size will be identical.
For further guidance, see the manufacturer's Reco Bra sizing guide.

The Reco Bra is a recovery support garment, not a substitute for individual medical advice. If you experience discomfort, pressure or irritation, consult your healthcare professional.
Care Instructions
- Fasten the front hooks and shoulder straps before washing.
- Hand wash where possible with a mild detergent.
- If machine washing, use a gentle cycle at up to 40°C with similar colours; a wash bag is recommended.
- Do not use chlorine bleach or disinfectant, as these can damage the antimicrobial finish.

- Refer to the garment care symbols printed inside the hem band.
