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. It’s made of nylon fabric and has a non-cup design, which allows it to conform to your breast implants. The Cup Bra is a good bra for every day use during breast augmentation recovery.

The Semi-Shape Bra with Adjustable Strap by Contour has a front closure and a non-cup design. This bra is made of Lycra spandex. It’s also a good choice for every day use.

The Surgical Bra by Contour is made of cotton compression Lycra and has hook-and-eye closures in the front and back. It also has Z hooks on the shoulder straps, which provide easy access to the surgical site. This bra is comfortable enough for every day use, and is also a good choice to wear to your follow-up appointments.

The SP Cover Bra by Contour also has hook-and-eye closures in the front and back. It has molded cups and a Velcro compression band for extra support. This is a good bra to wear immediately after surgery because of the added support of the compression band. It’s also a good choice for women with large breast implants that may need a little extra support.

When choosing a breast augmentation bra, keep in mind that your bra will need to be worn continuously, but will also need to be washed, so make sure you have at least two.

Recovering from Breast Reconstruction Surgery

vestMany women undergo breast reconstruction following a mastectomy. A quality breast reconstruction compression garment can ease recovery by reducing post-surgery swelling and decreasing breast reconstruction recovery time.

Breast reconstruction compression garments help to stabilize breast implants and keep them in place. Options for breast reconstruction post-surgical garments include compression vests and compression and post-surgical bras.

Compression vests may have long sleeves, short sleeves, or no sleeves at all. They offer a bit more support than post-surgical bras, so they may be a better choice for women with large breast implants. Compression bras are more lightweight than compression vests, which makes them a good option for every day wear.

Since breast reconstruction recovery garments are worn continuously for several weeks, it may be a good idea to have more than one on hand.
