The Facts relating to Breast Injuries and Why Breast Protection is Critical

Medical Statement on the Importance of Breast Protection

Dr. Chantal Thornton

Breast Cancer Surgeon MBBS (Hons), BMSc (Hons), FRACS, GAICD, Epworth Hospital, Melbourne

Trauma to the breast should be avoided with adequate protection. ⁣⁣Injury to the breast tissue can cause dead fat necrosis which can lead to lumps in the breast. These can be mistaken for breast cancer and can mean that the female will require biopsies to the breast. This can also make it difficult to detect breast cancer in the future if the patient has multiple areas of fat necrosis in the breast.⁣⁣ Fat necrosis on clinical examination and on breast imaging often mimics breast cancer and a biopsy is usually required to exclude cancer. It does not however increase a women’s risk of cancer.⁣

Trauma to the breast can also lead to chronic musculoskeletal and breast pain. Pain in the breast is uncommonly associated with breast cancer. Less than 10% of all breast cancers present with breast pain.

Medical experts agree and global research confirms, it's time for breast protection to be taken seriously.

The Story Behind Boob Protect

Built for Impact in Sports. Now Protecting at Work.

What began as a solution to a hidden injury on the sports field is now protecting women in demanding, physical jobs.

Designed for Impact. Built for Real Work.

Standard bras provide support — not protection. Female breasts are supported primarily by skin and connective tissue (Cooper’s ligaments), not muscle. That means they are vulnerable to compression, blunt force, and repetitive movement during physically demanding work.

Over time, repeated impact and excessive movement can lead to pain, tissue damage, and long-term changes in breast structure.

Boob Protect Inserts are engineered to do what regular bras cannot:

  • Absorb and disperse direct impact to breast tissue
  • Reduce repetitive movement and strain during lifting, restraining, climbing, or rapid movement
  • Provide structured support without excessive compression
  • Wrap under the arm for added coverage and stability
  • Vent for airflow to remain breathable under uniforms or gear

Unlike crop tops or tight compression bras that can restrict and cause discomfort, Boob Protect Inserts contour and cup each breast individually — delivering protection without compromising mobility.

The result? Less movement. Less trauma. More comfort. More confidence on the job.

Long Term Health Issues from Repeated Breast Impacts

  • Build up of fat necrosis which can mimic breast cancer (but not a cause) on scans, requiring painful and stressful tests.
  • The breast’s extensive superficial capillary network increases the risk of contusions and haematomas.
  • Breast pain, thought to be caused by tension on breast skin, internal ligaments and fascia during excessive breast motion.
  • Potential breast deformities or asymmetries.
  • Possible impacts on breastfeeding ability and milk production.
  • Damage to milk ducts may impair lactation.
