How to properly put on a compression bra after mammoplasty and how long to wear compression underwear after mammoplasty are the main questions from customers to the compression underwear store.
On forums about mammoplasty in the section Compression underwear after breast augmentation there are different answers to these questions. Here we present the opinions of plastic surgeons – our partners.
How to wear compression garments after mammoplasty
The use of compression garments after plastic surgery is preceded by choosing the correct size.
Here we do not consider the choice of a model of compression underwear from several models. You can read about the choice in the article ” How to choose the right compression underwear” .
Often clients choose the size of a compression bra based on the size of their everyday bra. This approach is not applicable. We use approaches to choosing compression underwear from manufacturers.
Manufacturers of compression underwear are from different countries and do not have a universal system of compression underwear sizes. They take into account the patterns of compression underwear, the approach to modeling, the method of sewing the cup of the compression bust, local standards of clothing sizes. Therefore, to determine the correct size of compression underwear, measurements under the chest and chest are needed.
We emphasize! Two measurements are needed – under the breast and chest circumference (can be done in a bra). Some people want to buy a compression bra before breast augmentation surgery. In this case, in addition to the measurements of the chest and under the breast, you need to answer the question: ” What volume of implants will you have after mammoplasty? “
The correct size of compression underwear after mammoplasty will be obvious to everyone – the client, the consultant, the plastic surgeon. The correct size of underwear after mammoplasty is like a magic wand – you will feel it right away.
Putting on a compression bra is very simple – unfasten all the fasteners, put your arms through, fasten all the fasteners and adjust. The compression bra can be put on both standing and lying down.
Some of our plastic surgeons put on compression garments immediately after implant placement – on the operating table, before the patient comes out of anesthesia. How they do it is a mystery to us.
The first days after mammoplasty will be unusual. General discomfort, compression of compression underwear, healing of sutures – you need to be patient. The result is worth the trials!
How long to wear compression garments after mammoplasty
Each plastic surgeon has their own answer. We analyzed all the opinions of our plastic surgeons and compression garment manufacturers and prepared a separate post ” How long should you wear compression garments after breast augmentation “.
The compression bra after mammoplasty is equipped with a stabilizing band . It stabilizes the implants and does not allow them to shift upward from the desired position during walking, bending, riding in transport (we believe that patients do not get behind the wheel for 14 days after mammoplasty).
How long to wear tape after mammoplasty
Shorter period than a compression bra. Your plastic surgeon will answer more specifically. Too many factors – healing of sutures, compliance with prescriptions, individual predisposition to surgery, behavior of implants.
Compression underwear after mammoplasty has a sewn-in and removable stabilizing tape . In the first case, the tape will have to be worn until the end of wearing the compression bra.
Rehabilitation after mammoplasty without a compression bra is impossible. We have not encountered any other opinion from our plastic surgeons. We strongly advise against going without underwear after mammoplasty .
For demanding patients after breast augmentation, we recommend using two-step compression therapy, which you can read about in “ Two-step compression therapy after mammoplasty . ”
Compression underwear after the second stage of mammoplasty can be used in the gym and for jogging – sports tops after mammoplasty .
