Reconstructive Surgery

Reconstructive surgery restores the shape and function of the body after illness, injury or previous surgery. Most often it is breast reconstruction after a mastectomy (breast cancer treatment), performed with implants or the patient's own tissue, as well as reconstruction of the nipple area.

After surgery, compression garments reduce swelling, support the healing tissue, keep the implant in place and help shape the breast. In the first stage, compression vests and bras with a front closure are usually recommended, as they are easy to put on and take off. Bras and vests with moulded cups are especially recommended after nipple area reconstruction.

Always choose the most suitable garment and how long to wear it according to the recommendations of your surgeon.
