What is lymphedema?

Lymphedema is one of the conditions that can cause serious complications following breast surgery.

Treating lymphedema is generally an ongoing process requiring regular follow-up to maintain the results achieved. It is a chronic condition that can be managed. Fortunately, we have expert consultants trained in this area who can help you reduce the effects and pain.

Once the swelling has subsided, it will be necessary to wear a compression garment during the day, and sometimes at night. This garment must be worn long-term. It helps control the swelling and prevent several complications. Compression garments must be fitted by a specialist. We have compression garments designed to reduce swelling and pain.

Reimbursement of bandages and compression garments

People with lymphedema may be eligible for partial reimbursement of the cost of multilayer bandages and compression garments. RAMQ reimburses 75% of the cost of compression bras for individuals with lymphedema. This covers up to three bras per year and the maximum amount you are entitled to. Furthermore, our compression garments are tax-free.
