Surgical recovery refers to the critical healing phase following an operation. In breast surgery, proper surgical recovery is essential to reduce swelling, support newly formed tissue, protect incisions, and optimise long-term results. Patients in surgical recovery in London benefit most from structured aftercare and medically appropriate support garments.

Surgical recovery bras are medical-grade compression garments specifically designed to be worn after breast surgery. Unlike standard bras, they provide controlled compression, stability, and comfort to support healing breasts during the recovery phase.

Compression surgical recovery bras help:

• Reduce post-operative swelling

• Support implant positioning

• Minimise tension on incisions

• Improve comfort and mobility

• Promote predictable healing outcomes

They are a core component of best-practice surgical recovery care.

Most patients are advised to wear a surgical recovery bra immediately after surgery, often straight from theatre. Your surgeon will advise how long it should be worn, typically for several weeks during the most critical stages of recovery.

While sports bras provide general support, compression surgical recovery bras are medically engineered for post-operative use. They feature seamless construction, front closures for ease of wear, controlled compression zones, and fabrics suitable for sensitive or healing skin — all essential for surgical recovery in London clinics.

This varies depending on the procedure and individual healing response. Many patients wear surgical recovery bras continuously for the first 4–6 weeks, followed by a gradual transition as advised by their surgeon.
