Do I Need to Wear a Bra 24/7 After Surgery? (photo)
I had my surgery done Thursday Sept. 13th 2013 I never wear bras and this is torture. Do I need to wear a bra 24/7 after surgery? Do I need to sleep in a bra? Do I need to wear one round the house (No Activity) My surgery went without a hitch and I really fell no pain. I took two pain pills the first two days (one each day) - I now take an Aleve for any discomfort. I have limited my activity to just daily activities and YES I am careful about lifting anything.

When breast implants are placed into the pocket that is fashioned during surgery either over or under the pectoralis muscle, you want the implants to stay in a relatively static position as it heals. A bra will keep the implants in a safe position while it is healing and keep them from shifting into areas where they should not go. It will also give support to your upper torso and your back as it adjusts to the added weight of the implants. A bra will also give your skin...
