What is the purpose of the breast compression belt ?
The breast compression belt is a removable elastic band, which is positioned on top of the breasts. Its role is to hold the implants in place and is therefore only recommended for breast enlargement with implants. If your surgeon has not prescribed a bra support for you when you undergo breast enlargement with implants, don't worry: this simply means that in your case the bra support is not essential.
Is it necessary to feel compressed ?
The old saying that you have to suffer to be beautiful is outdated! From now on, the support garment (which must be worn for an average of 5 to 8 weeks) is light and comfortable! The technology provided by the fabric designed by Embody is to provide effective support despite its remarkable thinness. When you wear the bodysuit or pants, you will feel like a second skin: the garment is forgotten. It does not compress, does not give the feeling of wearing a stiff, thick suit, but leaves you free to move. Don't be surprised by the non-breathing effect of our compression garments; they have been designed to give you effective compression !
Do I really need a thick fabric to have effective support?
As a result of the advances in Embody fabric, you no longer need to wear a thick, stiff garment to ensure effective compression. If you don't feel compressed in your Embody post-surgery garment, don't panic; it is still very effective! If you still want to make sure you have chosen the right size, please contact customer service.
Which surgeon to choose? How to choose?
Finding the right surgeon is the result of a very personal choice, giving priority to the "feeling" and the close relationship above all: it is essential to feel at ease with your surgeon in order to dare to discuss all the intimate questions you may have. We cannot direct you towards a particular surgeon but we invite patients to get all the information they need beforehand about existing practitioners, on the networks or by word of mouth.

Why do I need a post-cosmetic surgery compression garment? Is it compulsory to wear one?
The main purpose of a post-surgery garment is analgesic; to limit post-surgery pain. Its role is to support you throughout your post-operative recovery process. The post-surgery garment relieves and supports you: the support serves to reduce swelling, avoid the appearance of hematoma and oedema, re-drape the tissues and avoid detachment or shearing. It is for these reasons that the vast majority of plastic surgeons prescribe compression garments; they promote good post-operative results.
For how long should I wear the support garment?
As with many peri-operative parameters, the amount of time the post-surgical garment is worn varies greatly depending on the type of operation and the patient's ability to recover. The recommended time to wear the postoperative garment is between 4 and 8 weeks. However, if you experience any discomfort, do not hesitate to wear the garment beyond this time period.
What is the best way to care for your post plastic surgery lingerie?
Embody support lingerie is put together using the thermal bonding technique, the fabrics are joined together using an ultra-resistant adhesive. However, the maintenance of thermal bonded garments is delicate: hand washing is preferred. We also strongly recommend that you do not tumble dry the garments. Bras are made from noble materials, Calais lace, Lyonnaise embroidery, etc., so their care is also delicate: the same instructions should be followed.
