Breast Augmentation: Q&A

How Long After Breast Augmentation Can I Wear a Push-up Bra?
Almost 6 weeks ago I had breast augementation. 400cc textured, round, mentor silicone implants (high profile) were placed under the muscle. I naturally have wide breasts. When can I safely wear a push up bra to enhance cleavage? I understand that I would not wear it all the time. Does my picture look as though they are abnormally far apart?

WHEN can begin to wear Push-Up Bra after Breast Augmentation
As with everything involving Medicine and Surgery, what we do involves some factual science and a lot of habit ("I always ...") as well as unsubstantiated opinion. While some surgeons are more questioning and introspective than others- all surgeons, by their very nature, are opinionated (Best demonstrated by the surgical adage that they may be wrong but rarely in doubt).
Push up bras place a higher pressure along the inferior border of the breast and raise the implants bringing

Avoid Push-Up Bras for 6-8 Weeks Following Breast Augmentation
We generally avoid using push-up bras for six to eight weeks following breast augmentation. There are two reasons for this approach. First, when patients undergo sub muscular placement of breast implants, the pectoral major muscle may undergo spasm in the early post-operative period. This may force the implant in an upward direction and lead to malposition. When this situation arises we utilize compression to force the implant in a downward direction. A push up...

Push-Up Bra Post Breast Aug
I would advise you to follow the advice of your surgeon. With that said, I typically recommend to my patients that they may wear a push-up bra at 2 months post procedure. After your surgery, the breast needs ample time to settle into place. We don't want anything to interfere with that process.

From this view, it is difficult to recommend an underwire bra until your implants have fully settled. Discuss your desires with your plastic surgeon. I typically wait until 3 months after surgery.

Push-up bra after surgery
Ordinarily it is safe to wear a push-up bra between six and 8 weeks post-surgery. This presumes that your incision line is healing satisfactorily. This can be determined by your surgeon and it is best to follow his or her advice regarding whether the area is ready for the pressure placed on it by your bra.

When is a breast implant healed in place
I agree with Dr. Aldea regarding opinion versus science as well as the multiple suggestions to ask your surgeon's opinion. As for my opinion and recommendation, I feel that smooth surface round implants are healed in place by two weeks and that no external manipulation from a bra, positioning, or manipulation is going to make any difference. At two weeks the surrounding tissues are recovering from the surgical effects and this takes at least another month. Nerve resolution and...

Push Up Bra after Augmentation
If you are 6 weeks out, you should be ok to wear a push up bra. I would check with your surgeon first, but it really should be fine. With regards to your picture, it looks like your implants are centered on your nipple areola complex, which is exactly where they should be. You have a naturally wide space between your breasts, and there is not alot you can do to change this if the implants are going to sit properly in relation to the nipple areola complex. I hope...
