My Dr has advised me to placed balled up socks in the side of my bra following surgery to help position my breasts. I was very small and the skin and muscles are very tight currently. I've been told this will help to loosen the muscles and get the shape I want ie a good cleavage - I've never heard this before.
Answer: Socks in a bra
I think what your doctor wants to do is put something in your bra to move your breasts more medial .This is not unusual and whether you use some socks or foam rubber is not important,as long as it is comfortable.

Answer: Can you alter your breast shape after breast augmentation surgery
If your breast implants were placed properly at the time of surgery, you do not need to place anything in your bra to help alter the shape afterwards. You should not need to wear a band the attempts to push the implants downward either. These methods can not create cleavage if it was not there to begin with. Your breast implants will settle naturally over the course of about 2-3 months after surgery. Your bra is merely for support and comfort, it will not "give" you cleavage or a better outcome.
Best wishes,
Dr. Bruno

Answer: Balled socks in your bra following breast augmentation
I have to say that I, like most of the other respondents, have never heard of this technique. That being said, it doesn't mean that it won't be effective. In reality, the main factors that will determine where your implants will eventually settle are as follows:
width of breast implants used
degree of lateral dissection performed during the actual surgery
Aside from that, some physicians will encourage prolonged taping laterally to support the side of the breast. This is a unique approach that I have not heard of.
I hope that helps!

Answer: Socks inside bra
The most common way to achieve central fullness in breast augmentation is/are selection of an implant of the proper width, positioning the implant properly, precision myotomy of pectoralis major muscle origin, and post-surgical splinting with an elastic bra and/or a three inch wide elastic implant stabilizing strap available from Medical Z, Design Veronique, Marena, and other suppliers of post-surgical garments. Submuscular implants with a smooth surface (relative to textured implants) may be more prone to lateralization postoperatively, in my opinion.

Answer: Using socks to splint a breast implant
Using socks to splint an implant to develop cleavage is a clever way to maintain te fullness achieved during surgery. The real question is whether it will work. You would likely have to wear this 24x7 for 6 weeks in order to have a chance of being effective
