POST-OPERATIVE COMPRESSION BRAS
Compression bras are specially designed for the recovery period after breast surgeries.
They provide firm support, restrict tissue movement and secure breast implants.
Compression bras are recommended for use after Mammaplasty (breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast reconstruction), mastopexy, mastectomy, breast ablation and breast augmentation using the autologous fat transfer method.
Why should I wear a post-operative compression bra?*
1. Stabilises breast implants
The primary purpose of a compression bra is to provide firm support and stabilisation. This is crucial after breast augmentation, where your breast implants must remain securely fixed and supported to stay in place.
2. Helps reduce swelling and bruising
Swelling and bruising are our body’s natural responses to the healing process. A precisely targeted and continuous pressure helps reduce the accumulation of bodily fluids around the wound and limits the formation of bruises.
3. Improves circulation and speeds up healing
Choosing the right compression bra ensures optimal pressure on the operated area. This supports blood and lymph circulation, improves tissue perfusion, and facilitates the flow of oxygen and nutrients. This process can help speed up healing and improve the appearance of the skin after recovery.
4. Prevents possible asymmetry
A compression bra can help maintain the desired shape and appearance of the breasts by stabilising the implants and supporting them to stay in place after surgery. It can also help achieve seamless positioning of breast implants.
5. Helps alleviate pain and brings a sense of security
In the first weeks after surgery, it is essential that you feel safe and as comfortable as possible. The tight "hug" of a bra will give you a greater sense of security and can help relieve pain and discomfort in the wound area.

How long should I wear a post-operative compression bra?
You should wear a compression bra 24/7 for 6-8 weeks after the procedure. To ensure the maximum effect of compression therapy while not compromising on comfort and a sense of security, we recommend having at least 2-3 pieces of bras. While wearing one, another can be washed.
Always consult your operating physician about when and for how long you should wear a compression postoperative bra.
Why choose compression bra by LIPOELASTIC?
We design our bras with attention to the smallest details and with your comfort and security in mind - seamless cups, wide straps, and front fastening. We use unique technologies to achieve the highest possible quality. Your comfort and security are our top priority.
Heat-moulded cups
Accessible front fastening
Unique seamless technology
The fewer seams that can irritate the skin, the better. That is why we shape the cups of our bras with heat so that they are smooth and even, do not press anywhere, and hug the bust evenly and firmly.
A bra with molded cups ensures maximum comfort.
You may be less mobile in the first days after breast surgery, and your doctor will advise you not to lift your arms at all. Accessible front fastening will make getting dressed easier.
Thanks to the three rows of hooks and eyes, you can regulate the degree of compression after the swelling subsides.
Not only our bra cups are seamless. We use a unique technology that allows us to ensure a fine, seamless finish all around and under the breasts.
You will appreciate the seamless design, especially around the incision area.
Labels on the outside
Carefully selected materials
It is all about the details. For example, we sew textile labels outside to prevent possible skin irritation and discomfort.
We want to make sure your recovery is as comfortable as possible.
Because you will be wearing your post-op bra continuously for 6-8 weeks (more than 1400 hours!), we ensure our materials are as comfortable as possible, almost like your “second skin.”
PI premium: When compression meets elegance
Did you know that up to 80% of augmentation patients struggle to choose their first bra after recovery? To make this easier for you, we designed the PI premium bra.
"PI premium fulfils everything a woman expects from a bra. It is sexy, elegant and comfortable. At the same time, however, it provides the compression that you are used to with post-operative bras - the breast implants are thus still fixed and safe" - Alena Hradilová, co founder of LIPOELASTIC a.s.
