What to Wear After Breast Reduction Surgery
For women who undergo breast reduction surgery, post-operative care is essential. Once the gauze and dressings are
removed, you will need to wear a breast reduction
bra for several weeks to control swelling and keep your breasts secure. Overall, this allows for proper
alignment and for the tissue to conform.
That’s why it’s essential to know what to wear after breast reduction surgery and the most important features that
offer comfort and proper, faster healing. Let’s dive in so you know precisely what to look for.
Benefits of Wearing a Post-Surgical Bra
After a breast reduction, wearing a post-surgical bra is an absolute must, as they provide many benefits that help
you heal and recover faster. For starters, a post-surgical
bra compresses the area, promoting proper blood circulation. Proper blood circulation has several advantages
in itself, both decreasing inflammation and reducing fluid to avoid hematomas.
Overall, a post-surgical bra will also fully conceal the area to protect the incisions and prevent infection. But a
post-surgical bra should also be comfortable and able to offer complete support, especially since you’ll be unable
to raise your arms. Let’s take a look at some of the critical features that allow both comfort and support.
