The piece of women’s clothing known as a bra has come a long way from making the U.S. War Industries Board request women to stop wearing metal-rich corsets to reduce metal consumption to the bra-burning days of women’s lib.
Women all over the world have a lot of people to be thankful for as the history of this much-hidden but very supportive garment has been rather colorful. The ancient civilization of Crete is held to be the original birthplace of the bra with its women wearing something like it to support their breasts.
The early bras gave away to the very restrictive and uncomfortable corsets, which alternatively down-played and pushed-up the female breasts depending on the ways of the times. Numerous innovations and innovators later, the bra coalesced into its present form and family of variations.
Today, medical researchers recommend women to wear a bra all the time so that the breasts have adequate support. Without proper support, the breasts can sag and appear un-toned.
Even after a breast surgery like breast augmentation, plastic surgeons recommend patients investing in special support bras or a compression garment. Doing so has been observed to improve blood circulation, minimize post-surgery swelling, flush out harmful fluids from the body and reduce the recovery time.
Compression garments prevent newly formed scars from stretching as well. Recovering from a breast augmentation procedure or a breast surgery is a long process which can only be speeded by following the post-surgery advice relayed by your plastic surgeon.
