BRASSIERE FOR CONTAINING DRESSINGS AND/OR FOR CORRECTING ASYMMETRIES

MAGIC (Mammary Garment Ideal for Camouflage) is a bra conceived and designed for women showing a temporary/permanent breast asymmetry due to volume, shape or size differences after breast surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy, congenital malformations correction), while having the breast reconstructed with skin expander procedures or Lipofilling, whom request no surgical field compression in postoperatory. Wound dressing bulking is another common cause of postoperative asymmetry . Patients face the impossibility to wear a common bra, often for months, thereof losing support of contralateral breast, showing visible chest deformity. Furthermore the new mamma’s dimensions are subject to continue modification until the reconstructive process in accomplished. MAGIC bra offer a practical help: it’s made by a pair of preshaped cups, each apt to contain a respective mamma without apply unwanted pressure, with an inner layer elastically deformable. Between the two layers there is a pocket in which a separate pad may be customized on the patient’s chest defect. The pad is therefore inserted into the pocket and fixed in the appropriate position with a fixing accessory. Inner pads can be combined to adapt to the breast variations during reconstructive process time. Wearing MAGIC provide support to the breast avoiding postural related diseases, with exterior aspect of a “normal” breast, camouflaging the temporary deformity without unwilling interference with the plastic surgeon work. The MAGIC solution is absolutely feasible: patient does not entail significant differences with a common bra; nor this innovative customized bra request high additional cost for its industrial production.
