Wearing compression garments after a surgical procedure is essential because of the many benefits it provides to the recovery process. Compression clothing reduces swelling, improves blood circulation and supports wound healing. It provides comfort, protects against friction and minimizes scarring. In addition, 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 has been 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 due to breast movement. These bras are often made of breathable materials that wick away sweat and prevent overheating, making them ideal for athletic activities.

On the other hand, a postoperative compression bra is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of patients after surgical procedures, such as breast surgery, breast conserving procedures, breast reconstruction, or other surgical procedures. These bras provide significantly stronger compression than sports bras and focus on multiple aspects of recovery. They effectively reduce swelling, provide support and stability to the operated area and help minimize unwanted movements that can cause discomfort during the healing process. In addition, postoperative compression bras often have special features, such as adjustable straps and front closures for easy on and off, as well as pockets to accommodate any breast prostheses. These bras are also designed to minimize scarring by applying targeted pressure to the scar area, helping to promote even healing. Choosing the right type of bra is crucial depending on your needs and the stage of your post-surgery recovery process.

A postoperative compression bra can serve as a sports bra after recovery from the procedure. Due to the excellent compression, the bra will provide good support during physical exertion. In addition, we only work with brands that offer good quality products, which means that the bras are durable and keep their effectiveness for a long time.

1. Easy to put on and take off: A front closure makes putting on and taking off the bra significantly easier, especially when mobility is limited after a surgical procedure. This is particularly important during the recovery period, when straightening the arms to pull the bra over the head can be difficult.
   
2. Minimal movement of the operated area:
   The front closure ensures minimal movement of the operated area during donning and doffing, which is crucial to prevent discomfort and irritation of the incisions.
   
3. Adjustability:
   Many front closure bras have adjustable hooks, making it easy to adjust compression to suit the wearer's comfort level. This is especially important after surgery, as the body is constantly changing during the recovery process.
   
4. Less pressure on the shoulders: Bras with a front closure distribute the pressure across the front of the bra, which can help reduce pressure on the shoulders. This is important for patient comfort, especially if there is tenderness in the shoulder area as a result of the surgery.

For each product you will find a size chart in the product description and in the product images. This will give you an indication of the
different sizes. 

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 to size and one smaller than your current size. The fact is that you will swell immediately after the treatment, which is why your clothing size will increase. During the healing process, the fluid decreases, causing your size to decrease. 

The clothing worn will be too loose, resulting in less compression. This reduces effectiveness. By wearing a smaller garment at that time, you will again benefit from compression in the right zones.
