Why Bras Matter After Breast Augmentation
Some women dream of having a more attractive, larger and fuller pair of breasts. When nature fails them, they opt for breast augmentation surgery. This procedure can produce miraculous results, but the reality is the final outcome is often only as good as the after-care regimen a woman follows. If the right bras are not selected and worn following breast enhancement, dreams of perfection can be quickly dashed.
So, why is it that bras matter so much following breast enlargement surgery?
There are a number of reasons why proper support can make a big difference in the final outcome. A surgeon’s skill can have a huge impact on the appearance of breasts after a boob job, but if the healing process doesn’t occur properly, his or her work can all be for naught.
The reasons why bras are so important include:
- Prevention of rapid descent – Rapid descent is a condition that occurs when the implant makes the breast below the nipple bigger than the breast above the nipple line. This happens when the breasts, and the implants, do not receive proper support over time. When a proper bra is worn, the implant is centered in equal proportion above and below the areola. Rapid descent of implants will produce an appearance that is saggy and more aged.
- Comfort – Many women find that wearing a properly fit bra following breast enhancement increases their comfort level. Carrying around even a little bit of extra weight in the breasts can prove to be uncomfortable when the proper support is not provided.
- Better shaping – An improperly fit bra, such as a push-up bra, can cause newly enlarged breasts to take on an unnatural appearance. In some cases, deformity can occur. This is a very big motivating factor for selecting the right bra following breast enhancement surgery. Push-up bras are simply not the right selection following surgery.
While having the right bras following a boob job cannot replace a surgeon’s skill, they can augment his or her ability and ensure that the desired appearance lasts. To pick a proper bra following surgery, consider:
- Getting an expert fit – Go to a department store or other sales location where staff members are skilled in fitting bras. The fit on a post-surgical bra should involve a wire that fits at the breasts’ crease line. A good bra will also offer the right amount of strap support and cups that are not too deep and not too shallow.
- Checking the selection with the surgeon – It is okay, and often advised, that post-surgical bra selections are approved by the surgeon. It is more than acceptable to bring new bras to post-operative appointments to make certain the right fit has been found.
Finding the right bra after breast augmentation can prove to be a very important undertaking. When a good fit is located and the bra is worn properly, it can help with healing and even assist in preventing post-surgical complications that can hamper the final appearance of breasts following enlargement procedures.
