Post Augmentation FAQS

What is the importance of the right post surgery bra?

The reason for getting breast implant surgery can vary from person to person. For some, that reason could be weight fluctuations, childbirth, sagging, or simply to attain aesthetics. Whatever the reason may be, one thing that’s common in every breast surgery is the need for a post-surgery bra. 

To understand the need for a post-augmentation bra, one must first understand what breast augmentation surgery is. To put it simply, a breast augmentation surgery is in which a surgeon inserts breast implants through an incision in the fold under the breasts of a patient. In some other cases, fat is transferred from other body parts such as the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks region into the breasts using the same medical technique.  

While a surgeon or consultant may prescribe some medication to the concerned person after breast surgery, a post-surgery bra is highly recommended to help reduce swelling, which is common in most cases, and to subside post-surgery pain. A medical-grade post-augmentation bra applies sufficient pressure that helps in maintaining the shape of the new-size of the breasts. Usually, a surgeon would suggest you wear the post-op bra for a few weeks after the surgery to recover properly. 

Whether it’s breast augmentation, reduction, or reconstruction, the road to recouping requires a few things that need to be kept in mind, among which the choice of a post-augmentation bra plays an important role. That is why Karlee Smith bras are designed with the specific needs of post-surgery patients in mind, these bras offer essential support, gentle compression, and protection to gentle tissues that are susceptible to hematoma. By minimizing movement and providing stability, these bras aid in reducing swelling, preventing complications such as seroma (fluid around the implant), and promoting proper wound healing.

What is the best breast augmentation bra?

The right and best breast augmentation bra should be well-built, enough to support and firmly hold your breasts without any excessive pressure and bruising. In addition, a perfect post-augmentation bra made of soft, breathable material with seamless cups can accommodate your new implants and avoid any dislocation. 

While a right post-augmentation bra is intended to provide support and comfort to the wearer, a regular bra or an ill-fitted bra with the wrong material can result in breast asymmetry, infection, and strain on the stitches. Furthermore, a well fitted post-surgery bra can alleviate discomfort and escalate mobility, whereas a right bra will boost the wearer’s confidence through the recovery process.

The best kind of breast augmentation bra is carefully crafted to prioritize both comfort and functionality. More than just a garment, the best breast augmentation bra promotes physical well-being, and emotional support, and empowers women on their journey to recovery and renewed self-confidence

What is the best compression bra for after surgery?

Specifically designed for use after breast augmentation, Karlee Smith’s compression bras are medical undergarments that reduce unnecessary movement, which is a vital factor in the healing process. A compression bra after breast augmentation is as essential as any medication after the surgery. You can go for a size bigger if there’s any spilling over the top or bottom of your existing compression bra. Likewise, you can start wearing a size down if your current bra isn’t providing sufficient lift and support.

Although all necessary steps are taken by plastic surgeons, one cannot deny that post-augmentation complications may arise in the absence of proper care; including the use of a wrong compression bra or no compression bra at all. To say the least, a compression bra after breast augmentation can stop lymphedema, which is swelling that occurs as a result of lymphatic system blockage. 

The swelling after a breast augmentation surgery can be expected in majority cases, but it can prolong for a longer duration without the support of a compression bra. These bras further promote proper circulation that may hinder due to hematoma and prevent blood from combining with the surgical area. Without the support of a compression bra,  movement and friction against the surgical area can string out the healing process and this can result in wound separation, infection, and scarring.

Is it safe to wear underwire bras after getting breast implants?

Underwire bras are widely acclaimed by women across the world as these bras provide additional support and shaping. Chances are that you may be tempted by them and would want to start wearing them to add that dramatic lift to your newly sculpted breasts. However, the use of an underwire bra within the first few weeks after getting breast implants may not be the best idea. While these bras offer the best support and lift, they can potentially harm the tender, swollen, and sensitive surgical region during the initial recovery phase. So, it is usually recommended by surgeons to avoid underwire bras so that the breasts can heal without irritating the incision site. 

When selecting bras after breast augmentation, it is essential to keep your individual needs in mind. It’s even better to consult with your surgeon for any specifications that cater to your case.

What is the best post surgical front closure bra?

While there can be different post-surgical bra styles, such as front, back closure, and pull-on, it may vary from person to person what they opt to wear. Often, a post-surgical front closure bra is preferred by many women who undergo breast surgery. The increased discomfort and pain, specifically during physical activities or when moving arms can be avoided with the help of a post-surgery front closure bra. In the absence of the right support, an individual may experience post-operative discomfort and find it difficult to engage in daily activities.  

The ideal type of compression bra is a post-surgical front closure bra at Karlee Smith which offers adjustable, low-profile straps, removable padding for customizable nipple coverage, seamless cups, and an auto-lock front zipper. You get a perfect bra that ticks all the boxes and ensures proper care and protection for a fast recovery. 

Along with that, a post-surgical front closure bra is instrumental in sustaining the desired shape and positioning of the breasts following the surgery. The lack of essential compression and support can lead to implant displacement or distortion, which may further bring forth an unwelcoming outcome or complications.

BRAS TO WEAR AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION

For those undergoing breast augmentation, the journey extends beyond the operating room, after which is when the post-operative care and support begins. Following that comes the selection of bras tailored to accommodate and enhance the newly augmented breasts. The transition from newly earned breast implants to wearing bras after the surgery is a crucial step in the healing process. There is no denying the fact that irrespective of the type, a bra is capable of altering the shape and position of the breasts, so one must choose carefully.

Bras for breast augmentation surgery

Let’s take a look at some of the Karlee Smith bras that can be worn:
Compression Bras

Compression Bras are designed to provide gentle pressure to the surgical area and help minimize swelling and bruising. Originally intended for medical purposes, these bras often come with adjustable straps and front closures for ease of wear.

Sports Bras

Sports Bras offer firm support and restrict movement to lessen the strain on the surgical area. Generally, these bras have a secured but comfortable fit and wide straps for even pressure distribution. Sometimes these sports bras also come with moisture-absorbing features to keep the skin dry and comfortable during physical activities.

Wire Free Bras

A wired bra can cause serious harm and discomfort to the pressure points. On the contrary, a wired-free bra eliminates the said issues. As suggested by many surgeons, wire-free bras can be worn during the initial recovery phase when the breasts are tender. The soft fabrics with seamless form minimizes irritation on the sensitive skin.

Front Closure Bras

Front Closure Bras are an excellent choice for individuals with limited mobility or those who find it challenging to reach their back. These bras have clasps or zippers that enable the wearer to put on and take off the bra with ease. In addition, the soft cups and adjustable, wide straps provide extra comfort.

Soft Cup Bras

As the name suggests, soft cup bras offer gentle support without the rigidness of the underwire. These bras provide a natural shape and can be worn daily during the recouping period after the breast augmentation. Soft-cup bras usually come with wide straps and a supportive under band for comfort.

Precautions after getting Breast Implants

You have our support and best wishes for your new implants but the right time to celebrate comes after you have completely recovered after the surgery. What we mean is that you need to be really careful about the things to do and things that must be avoided at all cost.

Precautionary FAQs

after getting breast implants:
Why it is necessary to get ample rest after breast surgery?

The first and foremost thing required for a speedy recovery after any surgery is to get all the necessary rest. And we’re talking about breast augmentation, which is one of the major surgeries to be done on a human body. Hence, you need to allow your body to heal and get used to the new changes.

Is it ok to go back to my normal exercise or fitness routine of heavy lifting?

While it is ok to walk around and do light circulation exercises, any heavy lifting can put strain on the stitches and surgical area, so it is best to avoid that during the recovery phase that lasts for a few weeks. Remember that any unnecessary movements or heavy lifting can result in pain dislocation of the implants.

Why is it important to eat healthy post operatively?

This goes without saying but your body needs all the energy and nutrients to heal after the breast surgery. Therefore, maintaining a healthy diet that helps in gaining the strength required to go back to a normal life is a must. Munching on junk food with no nutritional value will not only act as an obstacle in the healing journey but will also add to body fat.

Why do I need to wear a compression bra?

Compression bras are the only things which will protect the surgical area and stitches from moisture, sweat, infection, irritation, and bruising. These medical-grade augmentation bras will apply just the required pressure on the newly enhanced breasts and hold the implants in place. So, wear compression bras until you have fully recovered after the breast surgery.

Can I start shopping for a new wardrobe right away?

We recommend waiting to shop for new bras, and tops until you have recovered after 4-6 weeks. This is due to swelling after a breast augmentation is a common thing and it gradually reduces over a period of a few weeks. The feeling of finally achieving your desired look might make you go out on a shopping spree but it is best to wait until the swelling is completely gone and the stitches are fully dried out.

Can I drink or smoke after surgery?

Apart from harming your body’s healing abilities, drinking and smoking can potentially stretch out the recovery period. The healing phase generally lasts for at least six weeks, but it is advisable to ask your surgeon or post op nurse about the appropriate time to start drinking or smoking after getting breast implants.

Why is it necessary to attend the post operative consult with your surgeon within the scheduled time?

Do not skip any follow-up appointments after your breast implant surgery. This is the most important time to talk to your surgeon about any suspicions you may have, if you notice anything unusual in the surgical area, and to address any issues that may lead to complications if they are not resolved quickly. 

Is it necessary to take the medication my surgeon prescribed?

While it is best to always follow your surgeons post op instructions, if you have questions regarding certain medications you do not want to take please consult your doctor. While the breast implants and your body will take some time to adapt to the changes, the medication will help ease the pain caused by the surgery allowing a smoother recovery. So, do take your medication seriously to get a fast recovery. Besides medication, you must also follow your surgeon’s instructions on post-op care and little changes in your daily life until you have fully recovered.
