Going Braless After Breast Augmentation
The skin and soft tissues of the breast lose their elasticity as you get older, just like the rest of your body, so a certain amount of sagging is inevitable no matter what you do. The question should be: what can you do to minimize the amount of sagging over time? The answer is to wear a bra during the day. Large breasts, or breasts with implants, have weight and the heavier the breasts, the more they will be subjected to gravity and be prone to sagging. The best way to counteract the...

Breast Implants, will going braless can sagging?
Going braless on a regular basis, particularly when working out can definitely contribute to sagging. As my wife says to our breast augmentation patients "Protect your assets"

Bras and Breast "Sagging"
Unfortunately, time and gravity are not our friends; common sense tells me that the use of supportive bras will help prevent “sagging” as much as possible.

Having a breast augmentation in order to not wear a bra is unrealistic

Good Luck.

Going Bra-less helps augmented breasts sag quicker
RE : " heard that u don't have to wear all the time after u get implants but would that not cause them to sag sooner? Or will it matter much?"
The breast a a sag-prone organ. Despite all the care in the world the beautiful, perky breasts of a 20 year old will not bed there at age 50 because no human has ever beaten Gravity and aging. Similarly, gravitational pull is greater on heavier objects. As such, heavier / larger breasts will sag sooner than lighter,...

Going Braless Will Accelerate Sagging
Going braless will accelerate sagging in both augmentaed and unaugmented breasts. It is simply a matter of gravity.

Breasts and sagging
Wearing a bra 24/7 does not eliminate the risk of sagging over time. Weight fluctuation, the volume of the implant, and skin quality impact sagging the most.
