Why Wearing a Post-Surgery Compression Garment or Bra Matters
After cosmetic surgery, your body needs time, care, and the right support to heal well. While incisions may be small and discreet, the tissues underneath—including blood vessels, lymphatic pathways, and connective tissue—can take much longer to recover.

That’s where post-operative compression garments and bras come in. At The Fitting Service, we believe they’re not just helpful—they’re essential. Recommended by surgeons and trusted by our community, these garments are thoughtfully designed to support your body where it needs it most, helping you feel secure and more comfortable throughout your recovery.

The Benefits of Compression Support
Wearing a well-fitted post-surgery bra or compression garment can:

Support healing by gently holding tissues in place and reducing movement
Minimise swelling, bruising and the build-up of fluid (like seromas or haematomas)
Encourage healthy blood flow and lymphatic drainage, key to reducing inflammation
Promote skin retraction and shaping for a smoother, more defined result
Reduce discomfort and ease pain, especially during the first few weeks
Potentially lessen the risk of scarring by supporting skin and incision sites

Whether you’ve had breast surgery, liposuction, or a tummy tuck, choosing the right compression garment can make a real difference to your recovery and results.
