Symmastia Bra

A Symmastia Bra provides sternum compression and helps maintain breast separation post surgery. Symmastia most commonly occurs following breast implant surgery, though it can also be a congenital condition. Symmastia causes breasts to sit close together and gives the appearance of merging. To prevent this and provide the right support to your chest following breast separation or implant surgery, you can wear a Symmastia Bra. 

The Symmastia bra must be worn under the post surgical bra so its foam prevents the implants from moving too close together or towards the centre of the chest during healing.

Use A Sternum Compression Bra For Post Breast Surgery Support

Sternum compression bras, like our Symmastia Bra, are important for post breast surgery recovery because they:

• Maintain breast separation
• Improve blood circulation - important for effective healing
• Provide necessary compression - to reduce swelling and speed up healing

• Medical-grade compression – to ensure effective healing

• Adjustable front and shoulder straps - to help you maintain the right fit as you recover

Symmastia Bra Advice & Tips

We recommended ordering multiple Symmastia Bras. It is vital to keep incision marks clean and being able to wear one bra while the other is being washed means you always have a clean, supportive post surgery Symmastia Bra on.

Try your Symmastia Bra on immediately upon receipt and prior to surgery.

Post Surgery Bra Sizes

All macom® post surgery bras sizes are based on the band size. As macom® bras sit lower on the rib cage than everyday bras, your band measurement may differ from your usual high-street bra size, although for some cases it will be the same.

Start by measuring yourself under the bust (in inches). Add 2 inches to the total and that will be your size for post surgery bras. For example, if you measure 33.5 inches, add 2 inches to make 35.5 and then round up to 36. Your size is Large in macom® bras.

Our sizes are listed from X-Small to XX-Large and are measured in inches:

• X-Small (28–30)
• Small (32)
• Medium (34)
• Large (36)
• X-Large (38)
