Is it safe to wear a sports bra while recovering from breast augmentation surgery, or is a surgical bra better? Does it depend on each person?
Answer: Pros and Cons of Surgical Bra Vs. Sports Bra After Breast Augmentation? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. The question regarding the use of bras is quite common on this website; there is no “standard” when it comes to the use of specific bras or garments after breast surgery. In other words, different plastic surgeons may have different practices when it comes to postoperative dressings/bras. Therefore, best to check with your plastic surgeon. For example, in my practice, patients wake up with a surgical bra in place. This surgical bra, although not attractive, is supportive and used for about one month after surgery ( Some of my patients have been known to burn the bra ASAP). Then, patient's transition to a soft sports bra for about 3 months. Wired bras are used when breast implants have reached their “final position” and patients have full sensation along the breast skin. Best wishes; hopefully, you will be very pleased with the longer-term outcome of the procedure performed.

Answer: Pros and Cons of Surgical Bra Vs. Sports Bra After Breast Augmentation? I think both bras work well. I don't have any specific recommendations, because I don't use bras after breast augmentation surgery. The best advice will come from your surgeon. Make sure to follow their postoperative instructions closely. This will give you best results.

Answer: There is no single gold standard for post-op bra use. Here's what I tell my patients. Disclaimer: Every surgeon has different post-operative instructions, or preferences, regarding post-operative care. You should always listen to your own surgeon first.

Answer: Surgical Bra Vs. Sports Bra after Breast Augmentation? I don't think it really matters whether patients wear a surgical bra or a sports bra after breast augmentation. A surgical bra that opens in the front is easier to put on that a sports bra that you would pull over your head. Many sports bras today will have a zipper closure in the front and this makes it easy to put on. A lot of women will say that the sports bras look better than the surgical bras. As long as women do not wear underwire bras for the first few weeks, then using a surgical bra or sports bra does not seem to make a difference.

Answer: Sports bra or surgical bra You ask a great question. First I would advise you to follow the recommendation of your plastic surgeon. In my practice I generally suggest my patients purchase a few sports bras which a much less expensive than a surgical bra.
