FAQ

Wearing compression garments after a surgical procedure is essential due to the many benefits it offers for the recovery process. Compression garments reduce swelling, improve blood circulation, and support wound healing. They provide comfort, protect against friction, and minimize scarring. Additionally, they help maintain the new body shape, relieve pain and discomfort, and promote 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 resulting from 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 postoperative compression bra is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of patients after surgical procedures, such as breast surgeries, breast-conserving procedures, breast reconstructions, or other surgical interventions. These bras provide significantly stronger compression than sports bras and address 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. Additionally, postoperative compression bras often have special features, such as adjustable straps and front closures for easy on and 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, which contributes 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 as a sports bra after recovery from the procedure. Due to the excellent compression, the bra will provide good support during physical exertion. Additionally, we only work with brands that offer high-quality products, which makes the bras durable and long-lasting in their effectiveness.

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 stretching the arms to pull the bra over the head can be difficult.
2. Minimal movement of the operated area:
   The preclosure ensures minimal movement of the operated area during putting on and taking off, which is crucial to prevent discomfort and irritation of the incisions.
3. Adjustability:
   Many bras with a front closure have adjustable hooks, allowing the compression to be easily adjusted to the comfort level of the wearer. This is especially important after a surgical procedure, as the body continuously changes during the recovery process.
4. Less pressure on the shoulders: Bras with a front closure distribute the pressure over the front of the bra, which can help reduce pressure on the shoulders. This is important for the patient's comfort, especially if there is sensitivity in the shoulder area as a result of the surgery.

For each product, you will find a size chart in the product description and with the product images. This gives 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 in your size and one smaller than your current size. This is because you will swell immediately after the treatment, which will increase your clothing size. During the healing process, the fluid will decrease, causing your measurements to reduce. 

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

The duration of wearing compression garments after a surgical procedure varies depending on the type of treatment and the individual recovery process, typically ranging from 6 to 12 weeks.
