“If a patient chooses a lumpectomy, radiation is almost always a part of her treatment protocol. Red, irritated
skin is an unfortunate side effect and she needs a soft garment that will support her breasts and provide some
comfort to her irradiated skin. I have found that Amoena post-surgical bras work well during this phase of
recovery. My patients live in these garments several weeks after surgery, so I want to make sure they are as
comfortable and accommodating to her as possible.”

and any chest related surgery
ƒƒ May help to evenly compress the chest area which can support the breast tissue

ƒƒ May help to reduce the risk of lymphoedema
ƒƒ May help to reduce post-surgical swelling, hematoma, and post-surgery pain
“The new Sarah Compression Bra from Amoena is an excellent medical device suitable for several types
of breast surgeries. After an operation the skin tends to be very sensitive, so I look for a bra that doesn’t
irritate the skin. The fabric and seam workmanship of the Sarah bra is so soft that my patients have the right
level of comfort while still providing the necessary support. Amoena has included all of the right features to
prevent pressure sores and lymphostasis, which is essential to guarantee a good healing process for my
patients. I highly recommend this garment for plastic and reconstructive breast surgeries. For me, Sarah is
the right Compression Bra for any kind of breast surgeries: postoperative as well as bust forming to gain best
operation results.”
Dr. Irene Richter-Heine, specialist for plastic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Geisenhofer Clinic, Munich, GERMANY
Patient is in the early phases of tissue expansion on her left
side and is in need of volume in order to symmetrically match her
natural breast so she can fill out the bra cup completely—
and feel more confident.
Using the fiberfill, the Amoena
PurFit enhancer is adjusted to the
desired volume, and is centered
over the tissue expander. The
silicone shell provides a natural
shape.
The enhancer completely
fills the bra cup, helping
the patient feel secure and confident with a symmetrical silhouette
throughout the expansion process.
“Whether we are reconstructing one breast or both, there is time during the expansion process when the
woman needs regular symmetry to fit her bra and clothing properly. PurFit addresses these concerns and my
patients have been thrilled with the results. The comfort and versatility has allowed them to get back into their
own clothing very quickly. Some may say that this is only a temporary issue to deal with, but when you are
trying to return to your normal life as soon as possible, PurFit can be invaluable.”

Adhesive Nipples

worn attached to an Amoena silicone symmetry shaper or breast form or directly
on the skin. They are an ideal option after a lumpectomy or reconstruction.
