A system (2, 10, 610) for providing a force to a person's breast area, the system comprising: a dressing assembly (30, 130, 630) shaped and configured to be placed on the breast area and wherein the dressing assembly comprises: a dressing bolster (32, 132, 632) made from a porous and permeable foam-like material sized and configured to be placed on at least a portion of the person's breast area, the dressing bolster having a first surface (34, 634) and a second (36, 636), inward-facing surface, and an interior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, and the first surface of the interior surface member coupled to the second, inward-facing surface of the dressing bolster; a first breast cup formed as part of the dressing bolster and formed with a first pocket, the first pocket sized and configured to cover a portion of a person's chest; a releasable circumferential connector for holding the dressing assembly against at least a portion of the breast area; a sealing subsystem (60, 160, 660) for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly and a portion of the person's epidermis, the sealing subsystem includes an over-drape that covers the dressing bolster 632 and extends beyond the peripheral edges of the dressing bolster to form extensions having an adhesive to form the fluid seal; and a reduced-pressure subsystem for providing a reduced pressure to the dressing assembly whereupon the system is operable to generate a compression force and an element of a supporting force against at least a portion of the breast area of the person. a dressing assembly (30, 130, 630) shaped and configured to be placed on the breast area and wherein the dressing assembly comprises: a dressing bolster (32, 132, 632) made from a porous and permeable foam-like material sized and configured to be placed on at least a portion of the person's breast area, the dressing bolster having a first surface (34, 634) and a second (36, 636), inward-facing surface, and an interior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, and the first surface of the interior surface member coupled to the second, inward-facing surface of the dressing bolster; a first breast cup formed as part of the dressing bolster and formed with a first pocket, the first pocket sized and configured to cover a portion of a person's chest; a dressing bolster (32, 132, 632) made from a porous and permeable foam-like material sized and configured to be placed on at least a portion of the person's breast area, the dressing bolster having a first surface (34, 634) and a second (36, 636), inward-facing surface, and an interior surface member having a first surface and a second, inward-facing surface, and the first surface of the interior surface member coupled to the second, inward-facing surface of the dressing bolster; a first breast cup formed as part of the dressing bolster and formed with a first pocket, the first pocket sized and configured to cover a portion of a person's chest; a releasable circumferential connector for holding the dressing assembly against at least a portion of the breast area; a sealing subsystem (60, 160, 660) for providing a fluid seal over the dressing assembly and a portion of the person's epidermis, the sealing subsystem includes an over-drape that covers the dressing bolster 632 and extends beyond the peripheral edges of the dressing bolster to form extensions having an adhesive to form the fluid seal; and a reduced-pressure subsystem for providing a reduced pressure to the dressing assembly whereupon the system is operable to generate a compression force and an element of a supporting force against at least a portion of the breast area of the person.
