A consequence of large breasts is the weight supported by the bra and the stresses transferred to the chest, back and shoulders. Concerns about bra stability can result in wearing a bra with a tight (undersized) band.
After a breast reduction, the full benefit of release from back and shoulder discomfort includes unlearning any ‘tight fit habits’. A STUDIO fitting can be a better option for discovering the right bra style and size for a smaller, lighter breast with a new shape.

For 6-8 weeks after surgery firm and even pressure from a compression bra helps shape and support the new breast and reduce swelling and bruising.
Comfort and mobility improve because the bra stabilises the breast, reducing up-and-down movement that can pull on scarring.
Non-underwire bras can improve comfort while swelling subsides. Slightly wider band and straps distribute load more evenly and a higher cleavage improves breast support.
With no rigid underwires pressing on scarring there is also less risk of soreness and aggravation.
A maximum support rating and the right design create new possibilities for being active.
Cups that encapsulate and hold the breast to the chest reduce cross-over or ‘figure 8’ breast movement. Slightly wider band and straps cushion loads and distribute weight more evenly.
