Mastectomy recovery crewneck that opens down one or both arms with discreet snaps: dress on your own with no reaching overhead or strain on incisions.
Designed for the days right after mastectomy or breast cancer surgery, when reaching overhead or pulling a shirt over your head just isn’t an option. The sleeve opens down one or both arms with discreet snaps, so you can dress and undress independently — no assistance needed, no strain on healing incisions.
Why this sweatshirt works for recovery:
• Discreet under arm closure — no lifting arm(s) overhead dressing required
• Soft, wide neckline that won’t rub against chest incisions or new scars
• Looks like a normal, stylish crewneck — no one has to know it’s modified
• True to size, athletic fit (see our sizing note below)
Whether you’re preparing your own hospital bag or putting together a thoughtful gift for someone facing breast cancer surgery, this piece is made to bring comfort, dignity, and a little bit of ease back into a hard chapter.
A note from Krista, Owner & Designer:
I started Healing Threads Boston after my own shoulder surgery, when I couldn’t find clothing that was both functional and something I’d actually want to wear. That same idea drives this piece — recovery clothing shouldn’t look or feel like a hospital gown. You deserve to feel like yourself while you heal.
