A breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammaplasty, is a serious surgical procedure that requires a fairly lengthy and intense period of recovery. The more sincere you are about your commitment to your recovery, the faster you can expect it to take. Treating your recovery seriously will also improve your chances for a successful and attractive final result. For instance, smokers are more apt to have noticeable, wide scars after a breast reduction surgery than non-smokers.

If you want your breast reduction recovery to be as brief, painless, and successful as possible, you will want to invest in the highest quality compression garments you can find. Surprisingly, these garments are both inexpensive and easy to purchase through ContourMD, a division of American West Medical Company. We have devoted the past two decades to perfecting our line of surgery recovery products, including compression garments, specialized pillows and wraps, and recovery creams.

Specialized Products for Breast Reduction Surgery Recovery
The compression garment you wear after your reduction surgery may differ from the type of garment a woman would wear after having implants put in. After augmentation surgery, women need to wear compression garments that keep their new implants from slipping out of alignment. With reduction surgery, swelling and bruising, rather than slippage, are the primary concerns.

At the same time, you should expect your body to take about six months to fully recover and settle into your new and improved shape. If you have any questions about reducing scarring, hastening recovery, reducing swelling and bruising, or maintaining your compression garments, please email us at info@contourmd.com or telephone us at 800.331.6990.
