Our Story

Hi! I'm Ellie- a certified plastic and reconstructive surgery nurse with over 12 years of clinical experience. 

When I graduated nursing school, I never would have assumed plastics would someday my happy place- but here we are! The complexities of reconstructive surgery combined with the intricacies of aesthetic surgery have me hooked.

Throughout my time in the specialty, I have crossed paths with thousands of women in various stages of their surgical recovery journeys. From women recovering from complex breast reconstruction as a result of breast cancer- to women taking steps towards enhancing their own body positivity with a cosmetic procedure, I've seen and learned so much!

With that, Mended Wing Recovery, a women's surgical resource, was born. A space to share what I've learned from thousands of women recovering from surgery with you!  Their tips, tricks, product recommendations, and lessons learned are what make Mended Wing Recovery unique. A space by women, for women. 

We focus on surgical education through our blog posts, niche recovery product curation to help you function comfortably and as independently as possible, and introduce a community connection for women to read about the experiences of those who have already recovered from surgery through our Friends of the Feather profile style interviews.

Our goal from day one has been to be a resource for women to recover from surgery with confidence and comfort. Thanks for being here :)
