Three Strands Recovery Wear was founded by Leah Wyrick in 2018 as a freshman in college at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. In 2016, her mother, Nancy, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her cancer was treated with a mastectomy that resulted in three subsequent surgeries due to complications. During her mother’s recovery, Leah saw first-hand the complications her mother endured, specifically with drains and bra discomfort, and became inspired to help others that may have a similar experience due to the lack of advancements in today’s surgical bras. Leah teamed up with Dr. Samuel Roy, a plastic surgeon in Salisbury, North Carolina, to create the Resilience Bra, a patent-pending, post-operative bra for mastectomies, breast reconstruction, and other breast-related cosmetic surgeries. At Three Strands, we put patients at the focal point of everything we do. We aim to provide you with a one-of-a kind recovery bra designed with the input of patients themselves, in addition to giving you all of the tools and resources needed to support your healing journey. From articles, podcasts, blogs, and more, visit our resources page to learn more about your breast surgery, helpful facts about your recovery, and what our small business is doing to support you!
