What are post-surgery bras for?

Surgical bras are specifically designed to ensure a smooth recovery and eliminate chances of any complications from surfacing that could botch the procedure. Everyone heals at a different pace, and their own unique procedures determine the length of their recovery post-op.  

Post-surgery bras provide a supportive fit whilst guaranteeing the required amount of compression in the right places without making it overly constricting to promote healing. Heavy procedures like surgery cause inflammation in the tissue thus, post-surgery bras also aid in tending to the reduction of swelling and securing your comfort.

Post Surgery Bras

Post surgery bras are specially constructed to cater to your recovery and medically advised compression to the muscle. Surgeons suggest their patients continuously wear post-op surgical bras for at least 6 weeks (about 1 and a half months) after the surgery.

Regular Bras

Regular bras are not designed to be worn for such extended periods of time, and they lack enough support for your breasts to stay in position. The regular bras are more constricting as well, and the underwires in them put the patients at risk of having their stitches ripped out.

Post Surgery vs. Regular Bras

A lot of patients tend to confuse post-surgery bras with sports bras, and while they are great for exercising, sports bras are not ideal for post-op. Instead, they might end up flaring the inflammation further since they are designed to be tighter than usual for workouts. Thus, it is always advised to invest in a medically approved surgical bra instead of wearing regular bras or sports bras as alternatives.

How long should I wear a post-surgery bra for?

Recovery duration may vary from patient to patient and surgery to surgery.

A few of the most performed procedures are mastectomies for breast cancer/leukemia patients, breast augmentation for a fuller look and breast reduction, each requiring a different period to heal.

Patients who undergo minor operations like excisional biopsy or lumpectomy may only be required to wear a post-surgery bra for 2-3 weeks. Nevertheless, women who undergo major surgeries like a substantial breast reduction or inserting bigger implants during breast augmentation may have to endure a longer recovery time. Women with such cases might be advised to wear surgical bras from anywhere between 6 weeks (about 1 and a half months) to 2 months.

Surgical bras are believed to be the finest form of bandage surgeons recommend to their clients after any sort of breast surgery since they not only ensure the safest recovery but also serve many other vital functions in the process.
