Immediately after breast augmentation surgery, you’ll need to wear a breast augmentation compression garment for the first few weeks. Fortunately, compression bras come in many different styles, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one that fits your lifestyle.

The Cup Bra has a hook-and-eye closure in the front, so it’s easy to put on even though your breasts may be a bit sore after breast enhancement surgery.

What are the Different Types of Breast Implants?

Before you schedule your breast augmentation consultation for your breast enhancement surgery, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the types of breast implants you’ll have to choose from.

Your breast implant choices are either saline breast implants or silicone gel breast implants. The most common type of breast implant is the saline breast implants.

Saline breast implants are filled with salt water, also known as saline. How much saline is in the implant will determine the shape and feel of the breast.

Silicone implants are pre-filled with a silicone gel. Some women think they have a more natural feel than saline implants.

Breast implant prices will vary, depending on your breast implant type and size, and by manufacturer. Breast implant surgeons are extremely knowledgeable about breast implant options, so your plastic surgeon can help you choose the best breast augmentation implants that are still within your budget.

Breast implant recovery time can be minimized by following your plastic surgeon’s instructions. Immediately after breast augmentation surgery, you’ll be instructed to wear a breast augmentation compression garment for several weeks. Breast augmentation recovery garments reduce swelling and increase circulation, which helps you to heal faster. Recovery garment options include breast augmentation bras, augmentation bandeaus, and compression vests.

If you’re in the market for exercise clothing, Contour sports bras are an excellent choice for both comfort and support. However, if you want a sports bra to wear after breast augmentation surgery, you’ll want a compression sports bra, which is a sports bra for breast surgery recovery.

The purpose of a compression sports bra is to increase circulation, reduce bruising and swelling, and to keep breast implants in place. Breast implants have a tendency to lift following breast augmentation surgery, but a quality breast augmentation sports bra can help to stabilize them.

Compression sports bras come in different styles include racerback bras, which you can wear under tank tops.

If a sports bra isn’t your first choice, there are several other types of breast augmentation recovery garments you can choose from, so there’s no need to sacrifice comfort during breast augmentation recovery. Additional choices for post-augmentation recovery garments include augmentation bandeaus, breast augmentation bands, compressions vests, and breast augmentation bras.

Breast augmentation compression garments must be worn continuously after your breast implant surgery until your plastic surgeon gives you the okay to switch to another type of bra.

Before exercising after breast augmentation surgery, consult your plastic surgeon.
