Compression Bras
Compression bras are seamless post-op bras that are specially designed for women who have recently had breast surgery. They support wound healing by immobilizing and stabilizing the operated breast. Sensitive skin and developing scar tissue are protected and post-operative oedema and pain can be reduced. All of our post-op bras have front closures and front fastening straps to ensure easy dressing.
​
Here is a video by Dr. Allen Gabriel, MD, FACS that explains why a compression bra is beneficial after breast surgery.
Specially stitched areas apply targeted pressure, encouraging lymphatic drainage and minimizing the risk of postoperative oedema. They have varying pressure levels for use after different surgical methods to suit the patient’s individual needs and requirements. Suitable for:
-
Breast Reconstruction
