Picking the Right Bra After Breast Augmentation

There are few times in a woman's life when a perfect fitting bra is an absolute must. After a boob job, however, the style and fit of a bra can make or break the recovery process. With this in mind, making sure a very good bra is selected should be a top priority following breast augmentation surgery.

Calf Pain The calf muscles are made up of two muscles. The gastrocnemius is the larger muscle and visible on the back of the leg. The soleus is a smaller and wider muscle lower down on the leg and mostly under the gastrocnemius. Each has a lateral head and medial head -- two halves. Both attach near the back of the knee and to the heel via the Achilles tendon. These muscles are responsible for extending the foot as in the push-off phase of running. Calf muscles can be torn, pulled, or experience cramping due to extreme stretching or overuse. Abrupt acceleration or changes in direction can often be the culprit. Calf injuries are much more common in men than in women, especially among middle-aged athletes. They most always occur acutely, or all at once due to forceful and abrupt acceleration. Unfortunately, once one has had a calf tear, that individual is more likely to have another in the future. The resulting pain and tightness can be painful, sometimes severe. Often times an audible pop is heard and the individual reports feeling like they were shot in the leg or hit with a stick. More often than not the pain radiates to the feet and to the knee where the muscles start and end. Swelling is common, but should be taken very seriously if severe. Everyone will recover from calf injuries at a different rate, but using KT Tape will help speed the process, relax the muscles, and relieve the associated pain. Rest, ice, and compression will also be valuable treatments. Severe ...

There are a number of reasons why having the right bra can prove to be very important after surgery. They include:

- Comfort - While many women who go in for breast augmentation surgery have never before needed a bra for the "comfort factor," this can become an issue with larger size and more bulk. After surgery, in particular, comfort can be a very big issue.

- Recovery - Wearing the right type of supportive bra can make the recovery process following breast enlargement surgery go much more smoothly. A good bra can also assist with the final shaping and help women avoid appearance complications.
- Prevention of rapid descent - When rapid descent occurs, the breast below the nipple is larger than the breast above the nipple line. While this can still give a woman a bigger, more "natural" appearance, the overall effect is unbecoming in the eyes of many women. It makes the breasts appear saggy and aged.

Avoiding potential problems following breast augmentation surgery is often quite achievable when the right bra is worn. The things to consider when picking out a bra following breast enlargement include:

- Timing - A well fitted bra should generally be picked out and worn on a regular basis starting at about two to three weeks following breast augmentation surgery.
- Wire fit - This should fall on the new breast crease exactly.
- The cup - This is very important when selecting a bra following a boob job. The cup itself should be firm and designed to evenly support the new breast. This means it should neither be too shallow, nor too deep.
- The straps - The vertical straps need to be strong enough to hold the breasts firmly in position. The back strap should also be firm, but do keep comfort in mind.

Some tips to help locate a perfect bra following augmentation that are well worth following include:

- Seek assistance - It is not a bad idea to go to a good department store and receive measurement and fit assistance from an experienced saleswoman. This can help insure a good fit.
- Double-check the bra with the surgeon - Do bring fitted bras to post surgical visits to allow the doctor to check the fit.
- Do not wear push-up bras - As flattering as these can be, they can cause improper positioning of the implant and can even cause breast deformities during healing.

Having the right bra following breast augmentation surgery is extremely important. Picking out the correct support can assist with healing, implant positioning and even increase comfort level in the days, weeks and months following the procedure. Women should take care when selecting a bra to make sure just the right fit is obtained.
