Implant Removal Bras

About Our Explant Bras

Explant bras are specialised compression bras designed to aid recovery following breast implant removal surgery. Patients may choose to undergo explant surgery for various reasons, including breast implant illness or wanting to change breast size. To ensure proper healing, fast recovery and the best results, you should use a macom® Explant Bra.

Explant Bra Features

Features to look for in an explant bra following breast implant removal without replacement include:

• Retractable cups ensure compression around your new breast size, while accommodating swelling from surgery.
• Medical-grade compression that accommodates swelling while ensuring necessary pressure to aid healing. 
• Made of a breathable fabric that is moisture-wicking for safe, comfortable wound recovery.
• Outward-facing seams to avoid rubbing and irritation against surgical incisions.

If you are having breast implant removal with replacement, use one of our breast augmentation bras. Features include expandable cups and adjustable straps so you can adjust the fit to your new breast size, whether you are getting smaller, larger, or the same size implants.

FAQs For Breast Implant Removal Bras

What Bra Should You Wear After Breast Implant Removal?

After breast implant removal, you should wear a compression bra. The macom® Explant Bra has been specifically designed to provide stabilised compression to your chest as your breast tissue readjusts to the new breast shape. The explant bra also includes retractable cups so you can adjust the fitting as your swelling decreases post surgery.

When Can You Stop Wearing A Bra After Explant Surgery?

You can expect to wear an explant bra for at least 4 weeks following surgery. They should be worn day and night to reduce the risk of complications. For 4-8 weeks following surgery, you will still need to wear an implant removal bra but, depending on your recovery progress and your doctor's advice, you may not need to wear it all the time. Always consult your specialist before changing how often you are wearing your explant bra post surgery.
