HISTORY:

     The Thongbra® is the original post surgery bra used during recovery following surgery for symmastia. The Thongbra® was designed and developed by a woman who had symmastia in1999. Following her surgery to correct symmastia with Dr. Thomas DeWire she realized she needed support in the cleavage area during daily activity and light lifting as she felt a constant pulling in her cleavage area. She tried several different types of bras stuffed with gauze and even a sports bra worn backwards to help keep her cleavage in place and eliminate the chance of tearing tissues at the surgical point. The gauze moved about during the day and needed constant adjustment. The backwards sports bra was too short, pushed up on the breasts and didn’t really give enough support to her cleavage. She had a slightly indented chest wall and there was just not enough pressure on the surgical point. After many design changes she created the Thongbra® which has a padded insert in the cleavage area and Velcro closures at the shoulders and sides which makes it a “one size fits all” garment. Over the few years women on breast augmentation sites found out about the Thongbra® and started e-mailing her to make them. Until now it has never been advertised, all sales have come from word of mouth and they have been sold all over the world to doctors and patients.

SYMMASTIA:

     Symmastia occurs as a result of over dissection of tissues in the cleavage area during breast augmentation. Some surgeons do this in hopes of creating or increasing the cleavage. Symmastia is commonly referred to as “breadloafing”, “kissing implants” or “uniboob”. In order to repair symmastia, the fat and underlying skin tissues have to be reattached to the breastbone. Often times with sub-muscular implants, the scar tissue is removed from the pocket and rolled up. This gives the sutures something to adhere to. Permanent sutures are typically used to hold the sternal skin down. The remaining pocket has to be sutured as well, typically with permanent sutures, thus providing barriers which will keep pressure and tension on the cleavage area.

WHY A THONGBRA®:

    The Thongbra® was designed to do what no other post surgery garment does; provide constant support to the cleavage area. Following surgery many doctors recommend some type of support to hold the surgical site securely while scar tissue forms and many recommend using the Thongbra®. The Thongbra® name has been trademarked and a patent is pending.

     The latest design provides the consistent pressure needed yet provides it with a high level of comfort. The Thongbra® is not really a bra at all but a post surgical compression garment which acts with a bow effect creating pressure from front to back and is worn between the breasts to keep constant pressure on the cleavage area during the healing process. Every Thongbra® is truly handmade of the finest quality materials to provide both comfort and support while keeping the breasts separated. The Thongbra® comes in three colors, white, black and beige and is fully adjustable to fit all sizes. Plastic surgeons have found the Thongbra® to be a useful tool for post symmastia surgery as well as for mastectomy patients undergoing breast reconstruction.
