Blog Why do we need a good sports bra? 14/08/2013
After any breast surgery, the supporting ligaments in the breasts are put under strain or have been divided either partially or completely. When you have Breast Implants or Breast Uplift/ Reductionsurgery, the breast gland is lifted off the underlying muscles too.
Hence, for 12 weeks afterwards it is important to avoid any bouncing movements such as running, trampolining, body pump, aerobics, circuit training or horse-riding. After this period, it is crucial to wear a good sports bra during sporing activities to maintain the surgical results that have been achieved.
A Running Level sports bra such as the Shockabsorber will reduce bounce by as much as 60-75%. Wearing a lycra crop top above this will reduce the breast movement even more by providing compression.
