Introduction
Shapewear refers to compression garments. Generally speaking, whether it is necessary to continue wearing compression garments five months after breast reduction surgery depends on the individual's recovery. If healing is progressing well, it may no longer be necessary to wear compression garments. However, if recovery is slower or incomplete, continued use may still be required; it is advisable to consult a qualified physician. After surgery, it is recommended to maintain healthy lifestyle habits and avoid wearing underwear that is too tight or excessively rigid.
