Travel to the Support
& Compression Garments floor of the Store, where you can try
out a wide variety of well-fitting, high-quality, and comfortable vests, bands,
wraps, and related compression garments for male breast reduction. 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. Depending on the doctor's instructions, you may need to wear
chest support and compression garments for a period of time that may range from
days to weeks.

Cool off in the
Cold
& Warm Therapy department of the Store where you may find a wide
variety of specialized product solutions for treating post-operative swelling
and bruising. The department includes specialized cold and hot chest compresses
that can effectively provide both cold and hot therapy to swollen and bruised
areas. As the surgery causes post-operative swelling and bruising to take shape,
cold and hot therapy is needed to help reduce these symptoms. Cold therapy is
very effective for reducing swelling, relieving sensations of pain, and accelerating
the healing process. Hot therapy helps break down and disintegrate bruising
discolorations and provides moisture or dry heat to areas of discomfort. Hot
therapy can also be soothing on sore tissues that have been tightened or cut.

Coming with shoulder straps to secure the compress, provide comfort, and allow for you to move while using the compress, the resuable Make Me Heal Cold & Hot Breast Compress (7" diameter with two 3" extending side breast pockets for above and around breast coverage) comes as a pair and may be used on the breast for both cold and hot therapy to help in reducing post-operative swelling, bruising, and discomfort from breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, gynecomastia, and mastectomy.

The outer surface of the sheet is covered with a silky fabric for a touch of elegance and optimal comfort.

To help you rest

& Comfort Pillows aisle features a wide variety of pillows
that can maximize your comfort and help you avoid muscle tension and aches during
the healing journey. Due to the need to rest and sleep (often in an elevated
position) during the initial phase of recovery, having to remain in the same
position for long periods of time causes patients to experience all kinds of
muscle tension and aches in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back, arms, buttocks,
knees, and legs. This leads to patients having difficulties resting and sleeping
properly during the recovery and is a cause for frustration. Fortunately, there
are some special comfort pillows that are specifically designed to reduce tension
and discomfort when resting and to help you have the pain-free rest that is
crucial to healing. These products include anything from a u-shaped pillow,
and leg separator, to knee and leg wedges and lifts.

Safety Accessories area where you can find accessories that can
help you make your shower or bath “healing-proof”. Accessories such
as a non-slip shower mat, bath/shower bench or chair, and handheld showerhead
can help minimize the risk of slipping or falling down in the shower/bath during
the early phase of recovery when you may be feeling low on energy, tired, and
drowsy from the trauma of the surgery, anesthesia, and pain medications that
you may be taking. Instead of standing and endangering your safety, having a
seat in the shower and placing a non-slippery mat in the shower are tried-and-tested
tips that veterans recommend to practice until your energy level is restored
to normal. Beyond safety, these accessories can make your showering experience
easier and help you prevent making healing-unfriendly movements that may worsen
symptoms such as swelling and bruising.
This adjustable Bath Chair with suction cup tips is specially designed to be placed in a shower or bath and provide a patient with the maximum safety and comfort while bathing.
