Wearing compression garments after a surgical procedure is essential due to the many benefits it offers for the recovery process. Compression clothing reduces swelling, improves blood circulation, and supports wound healing. It provides comfort, protects against friction, and minimizes scar formation. Additionally, it helps maintain the new body shape, relieves pain and discomfort, and promotes postoperative mobility. Wearing compression garments is a proven method to shorten recovery time and reduce complications, and it is recommended by medical professionals worldwide. It is crucial to strictly follow your healthcare provider's instructions for optimal recovery.
A sports bra is primarily designed to meet the needs of women during physical activities, such as sports and exercise. The purpose of a sports bra is to provide comfort and support during movement, applying moderate compression to minimize discomfort and pain caused by breast movement. These bras are often made from breathable materials that wick away sweat and prevent overheating, making them ideal for athletic activities.
On the other hand, a post-operative compression bra is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of patients after surgical procedures, such as breast surgeries, breast-conserving surgeries, breast reconstructions, or other surgical interventions. These bras provide significantly stronger compression than sports bras and focus on multiple aspects of recovery. They effectively reduce swelling, offer support and stability to the operated area, and help minimize unwanted movements that can cause discomfort during the healing process. Additionally, post-operative compression bras often have special features, such as adjustable straps and front closures for easy putting on and taking off, as well as pockets to place any breast prostheses. These bras are also designed to minimize scarring by applying targeted pressure to the scar area, contributing to even healing. Choosing the right type of bra is crucial, depending on your needs and the stage of your recovery process after surgery.
A postoperative compression bra can serve perfectly as a sports bra after recovery from surgery. Due to the excellent compression, the bra will provide good support during physical activity. In addition, we only work with brands that offer high-quality products, which makes the bras durable and ensures they maintain their effectiveness for a long time.

For each product, you will find a size chart in the product description and next to the product images. This gives you an indication of the
different dimensions.
Despite this information, you are advised to determine your size in consultation with your treating physician.
Please take into account the advice to order two different sizes. You are advised to order one garment in your size and one smaller than your current size. This is because you will swell immediately after the treatment, causing your ready-to-wear size to increase. During the healing process, the swelling decreases, reducing your circumference.
The worn garment will then be too loose, resulting in less compression. This reduces the effectiveness. By wearing a smaller garment at that time, you will again benefit from compression in the correct zones.
