How Can Support & Compression Garments Benefit My Healing Journey?
In the Support & Compression Garments department of the Store, you can try out a wide array of well-fitting, high-quality, and comfortable support bras, vests, and related compression garments for breast reduction. As you stroll through this area of the Store, you will notice that the garments are organized into primary categories, including Breast Support Bras & Garments, Breast Compression Garments, and Multiple Procedure Garments.
Following breast reduction, your doctor will ask you to wear a support or compression garment. Wearing a garment after breast reduction is essential to improve blood circulation, minimize swelling after the procedure, flush the body out of potentially harmful fluids, accelerate the healing process, and allow the patient to return to daily routines sooner. A compression garment also provides support to surgical areas for more comfort and helps the skin fit better to its new contours. Further, support and compression garments can also help prevent a patient from experiencing some “throbbing” sensations after surgery. Finally, compression garments can also help reduce tension on newly formed scars and prevent them from stretching.
Breast support and compression garments are typically worn immediately after the surgery for a period of time that may range from days to weeks, depending on the doctor’s instructions. During the initial period of post-op, your doctor may instruct you to wear your garment constantly (even while sleeping) and only remove it when you need to shower. As your healing progresses, you should be able to remove the garment for various activities. Generally, the amount of time you will need to wear your garment will be reduced as you move forward in your healing journey. Due to heavy drainage and long, continuous periods of time that you may need to wear the garment, it is recommended to purchase 2 garments.
