Description
Breast stabilisation band. It is worn above the breasts and has one job only: to stop the implants riding up.
What it is for
After breast augmentation, the implant tends to shift upwards while the pocket takes shape and the tissue adapts. The band applies gentle, constant pressure on the upper pole that keeps it down, and that is what prevents that high, unnatural look.
It is a small, inexpensive piece that has a considerable say in the final result, and the one most people skip because they do not understand what it is for.
It is worn over the post-surgical bra, not instead of it: they do different jobs.
When to wear it
The usual pattern is to wear it day and night for the first month, and then as your surgeon tells you at your follow-up. It is loosened gradually as the swelling goes down.
What it is like
- Adjustable Velcro fastening.
- One size.
- Breathable fabric.
- Worn over the bra.
Washing and care
By hand or on a delicate cycle, in cold or lukewarm water with mild soap. No bleach, fabric softener, tumble dryer or radiator: heat destroys the elastic, and a garment without elastic no longer compresses. Dry it flat, in the shade. If you are going to wear it 24 hours a day, it is practical to have two.
Tighter is not better. A garment that leaves deep marks, causes numbness or tingling, or changes the colour of the skin is compressing too much and can do harm. If this happens, loosen it or move to the loosest row of hooks, and let us know.
Not sure which size to order or how long to wear it? Ask us: the garment and the number of weeks are decided by your surgeon, according to the procedure you have had.
Size guide
