Frequently Asked Questions
How
long should I wear the Thongbra®?
Most plastic surgeons recommend 8 weeks
24/7. However, many patients feel they still
need some support after that time and slowly wean themselves off of
the Thongbra® over a period of a few months. Since every patient is
unique, we recommend that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice.
Why does it cost so much? Each
Thongbra® is handmade in the USA of the finest materials to give
constant support and pressure on the cleavage area. The Thongbra® is
a post surgical support garment designed for a specific purpose; it
holds the cleavage in place and keeps the breasts separated. We have
continued to improve the design and implement new materials that are
comfortable yet maintain even pressure during the healing process.
It will not lose its resiliency or permit permanent deformation. The
base cost for a Thongbra® is $125.00
Is it machine washable?The best
way to wash the Thongbra® is by hand, but it can be washed in a
garment bag on the gentle cycle using cold water. The Thongbra®
should be line dried due to its elastic properties. We do not
recommend it be placed in the dryer.
Is the Thongbra® guaranteed? The
Thongbra® is guaranteed against any signs of poor workmanship or
fabric failure. It is not guaranteed to fix symmastia. That depends
on the surgical procedure that is used and many other variables.
Where can I find more information on the
surgical procedure for symmastia?
Dr. Thomas DeWire at
www.advanced-art.com/Breast-Aug-Rev-Symmastia.htm has a
wonderful site full of very useful information. Another great site
that has information you will find helpful is
www.justbreastimplants.com run by Nikki who also has been
helping women find information about breast implants and
complications for many many years.
What size do I order? The
Thongbra® is completely adjustable. The one size will fit most
patients with a 27” to a 44" chest measurement and any height from
4’10” to 6’2”.
What colors are available? The
Thongbra® is available in White, Beige and Black.
