Bra or no Bra

Robert M. Jensen, MD answers: Should I wear surgical bra after breast augmentation?

My doctor told me not to wear any surgical bra. I'm going to have my breast implants surgery in 2 days and everybody I knew wore a surgical bra after surgery. However, my doctor to wear nothing but looseshirt for 3 weeks. Would you please tell me is that good or bad? Thank you very much.

There is differing opinions as to whether a bra is needed after breast augmentation.  In certain circumstances, such as endoscopic breast augmentation I do do not recommend a bra until after the implants have settled.  With an infra-mammary crease incision, however, I usually do recommend a bra.  My deciding factor is how the implants have settled.
