If you are planning to have breast surgery soon – augmentation, reconstruction, mastectomy or breast lift, now is the time to get to know the post-operative bra. This is a unique compression garment recommended by plastic surgeons worldwide as an integral part of the recovery process. The bra is expected to accompany you in the first few days after the procedure throughout the day and will allow you to relieve pain and receive optimal results from the surgery.

A compression bra is a medical garment designed for women undergoing breast surgery – mastectomy or reconstruction, breast augmentation or reduction, implant replacement surgery, and breast lift, as well as men undergoing gynecomastia surgery (breast reduction). Compression garments work on several levels simultaneously. A post-surgery bra is designed with a unique ergonomic structure designed to blend with the texture of the skin without causing irritation or interfering with movement.

Wearing a bra 24/7 after surgery and for the first few days afterward is designed to ensure pain relief and optimal post-operative results. The bra prevents possible complications such as hematomas (internal bleeding), edema, and swelling, provides an important layer of protection for the surgical area, and speeds up the healing process.

All the benefits of wearing a bra after surgery

A compression bra combines several important functions in one item:

• Waste removal – A post-operative bra applies constant pressure to the surgical area without causing pain or putting pressure on the suture area. Through this constant positive pressure, the bra helps improve blood flow to the area and increase oxygen levels. This allows for more efficient waste removal, which is typical of the first few days after surgery. This prevents swelling and edema from forming in the area.
• Support and protection – Wearing a bra after surgery prevents shaking of the breast, blows or various injuries to the area that could cause actual damage to the surgical area. The bra fixes the breasts deep inside the garment and provides a layer of protection against blows and unnecessary movement.
• Pain relief – The days following breast surgery involve discomfort and pain of varying intensity, depending on the patient's medical condition and the type of surgery. Wearing a compression bra after surgery and throughout the recovery period significantly alleviates and reduces the intensity of pain.
• Improving surgical results – Wearing a compression bra during the initial recovery period after breast surgery helps the patient achieve better results. The bra compresses the tissues, supports the surgical area, and allows the skin to accept the new contours, stabilize them, and prevent movement in a way that encourages optimal results from the procedure.

How is a bra shaped after surgery?

The days following breast surgery can be quite a challenge for patients, due to pain in the operated area and impaired movement. A post-operative bra is a medical product that was developed precisely to meet this need and provide a better and faster return to routine after surgery, while maintaining a sense of comfort and security. A compression bra has a unique design that was developed precisely to fit patients after breast surgery. Wearing the bra will allow you to return to your daily routine in a short time without fear of pain or injury to the surgical area, while providing a significant reduction in the intensity of pain and an effective layer of protection for the surgical area and stitches.

A post-surgery bra is sewn from airy, breathable fabric, which has the ability to evaporate sweat, which prevents the formation of fluids that could become a breeding ground for bacteria and germs. The bra blends perfectly with the skin texture without causing irritation, itching or discomfort, so it can and is recommended to be worn around the clock, including while sleeping. It is lightweight, comfortable to wear and remove, and does not hinder movement.

The bra is designed with a comfortable front hook closure at the chest and additional hook closure at the shoulders to provide a perfect fit. It comes in two practical shades to choose from – black or nude, so it can be worn under clothing without standing out. It comes in a wide range of sizes to perfectly fit every patient, from size S to size XL3.
