Read moreWhat Is The Best Bra To Wear After A Breast Lift or Augmentation?
Thanks to advancements in cosmetic procedures, women can undergo breasts lifts or breast augmentations as options to solve a variety of breast issues.
After surgery, you are likely to feel tight and sore. However, faithfully following any post-op instructions will lead to healthy and speedy recovery.
Why the Right Post-Surgery Bra Matters
Swelling and bruising is at its peak after surgery and the right post-surgery bra is crucial to support the healing process. You will need to wear a post-op bra 24/7 for the next several weeks while you heal. Gentle compression is necessary for comfort. Bras must provide support and stability to reduce strain on incisions and minimize swelling. Proper air circulation is necessary for faster recovery.
Stages of Bra Selection After Surgery
Depending on where you are in your surgery journey, you must be mindful of the type of bras needed for each stage.
Immediately Post-Surgery (0-6 weeks)
Post-surgery compression bras are the first in line for a successful recovery. Wire-free, these bras provide maximum support and minimize swelling. Front closure makes for ease of use and reduces the risk of unnecessary arm movements putting a strain on the incisions.
For breast augmentation, some wireless high-compression post-surgical bras have a stabilizer band to keep implants in place. Keeping incisions clean and dry is essential for all round healthy healing.
Transition Phase (6-12 weeks)
Light compression is still necessary for gentle support. Wireless bras or bralettes help breasts keep shape while allowing for more flexibility. Excessive movement is still not advised and arm movements are limited.
Long-Term (3 months and beyond)
As long as you had followed your surgeon’s advice and implemented the post-op recovery program, breast shape has settled and you can go back to wearing your favourite regular bras. Swelling is mostly resolved and scars are starting to fade. Normal activity, once cleared by the surgeon, can be resumed.
No matter what stage you are at, it is always important to continue prioritizing proper fit and support.
What to Look for in a Post-Surgery Bra
Choosing the right post surgery bras all boils down to a couple key elements.
- As you heal, choose a firm but gentle post-surgery compression bra that keeps implants in place and reduces swelling.
- At this early stage, wire free is your friend. Underwire can disrupt healing.
- Limit arm movement by using front closure styles for ease of use.
- Go for wide padded straps, full coverage and firm bands that will enable a custom fit as swelling goes down and breast shape settles.
- Make sure that the fabric is breathable and moisture wicking so skin stays dry and not easily irritated.
