Breast implant bras are special garments designed to help women through the breast augmentation process. Prior to the surgery, special breast sizing bras are designed to help you choose your breast implant size. After your procedure, special compression bras are designed to reduce paid and to aid in your recovery. Finally, here are specialized bras designed for daily use by women with breast implants as well. When you use the appropriate bras, you are more likely to be satisfied with the results of your procedurefor a longer period of time.

Before the Procedure Bras

Trying out various breast implant sizes in your trial bra is critical to your satisfaction. In the past, women have not had the luxury of using these breast sizers at home which has in part led to the most common reason for dissatisfaction...breast implant size. Find a breast implant trial bra that allows you to experience different implant sizes throughout your normal daily activities.

Recovery Bras

By wearing a breast augmentation recovery bra you will:

* Reduce swelling in the breasts * Improve blood circulation * Help flush out potentially harmful bodily fluids * Shorten your recovery time

Throughout the recovery process you will notice the need for different bra sizes and types. In the beginning, you will want the highest support possible to reduce pain and minimize motion. Your plastic surgeon can advise you on a breast augmentation recovery bra that is will minimize the throbbing sensation in your breasts. About one week after the procedure, your plastic surgeon may suggest wearing another recovery bra with lighter compression before you can start wearing a good sports bra as the final recovery garment.

You will feel great in the compression of the sports bra which is like the recovery bra, while allowing for more freedom of movement.

Breast Augmentation Bras

No sooner than six weeks after your surgery, your doctor may be in a position to advise you that you are ready to wear the pretty bras you've been waiting for! Generally speaking, underwire bras must not be worn sooner than six weeks after the surgery. Some plastic surgeons might recommend wearing underwire bras only occassionally after that.

When you are ready to buy your new bras you will want to visit with a bra fitting specialist. Be sure to visit with a specialist who is familiar with the special needs of women with breast implants. As 70% of women wear the wrong size bra, it is never more important than to visit a specialist after receiving breast implants.

One patented series of bras, the Le Mystere No. 9 bra is designed specifically for the unique placement and shape of augmented breasts.
