Will I Still Drop and Fluff if I Wear an Underwire 20 Days Post Op (photo)

I got 600cc sublglandular implants. My ps said I could start wearing an underwire bra. I got an areola reduction also. I breastfed two kids, he said I did not need the lollipop lift and the implant should fill up the deflated breasts. I think my implants are still a little high. Maybe they just need to settle and fluff. Will the underwire bra interfere with this?

When to wear bra?

Dear Lily, I have my patients wear a bra once we are happy with the position of the implants. I think your implants are in an excellent position and I would encourage you to start wearing a bra now as well. As to an underwire bra, since you had an areolar reduction, I assume the augmentation was performed through the areola, thus there should be no problem with an underwire bra as there is no incision under the breast.

Appears as a very very good early result. Ask your chosen surgeon about use of underwire bras. In my practice I recommend at least 6 weeks before use underwires.

Implant and underwire bra

From the photos, it looks like your implants are in good position. As for an underwire bra, if your surgeon says it is OK then you can go ahead and wear one.

Post Operative Drop

Thank you for the question and the photo. Judging from the picture provided, it would appear as though your implants are on good position. The fact that you have had such large implants placed means that you will require good support to avoid sagging precociously secondarily to the weight. Your surgeon's advice appears to be appropriate. Best wishes.

Underwire Bra 20 Days after Breast Augmentation

Wearing an underwire bra this early after breast augmentation with only a periareolar incision may be fine. The implants look to be in appropriate position. I would ask your plastic surgeon about your specific concern. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

These look well positioned--even and not too high at all.Implants this large will contribute to premature sagging, and wearing a good supportive bra will help alleviate that issue. Your surgeon's advice seems reasonable. All the best.

600 cc Breast Implant recovery

Thank you for your question about your 600 cc breast implant recovery. The photo shows a nice result, with symmetric and well-positioned implants. In the photo, they do not look too high. Large sublgandular breasts implants will make your breasts droop. So wear a supportive bra except at night. Underwire bras may be uncomfortable. Otherwise they should not interfere with your breast position. Sports bras will give you more support. Hope this... more

Use of Bra after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question and picture. Always best to run these types of questions/concerns by your own plastic surgeon; remember that you chose him/her for good reasons and that he/she is ultimately responsible for your care. You'll likely receive a variety of online opinions, none of which can be as precise or relevant as what you hear directly from your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.

Your Shape May Change

Three weeks is still too early to determine the final shape. The implants will continue to "settle" into their more permanent position for three to six months after surgery depending on their placement. The scar tissue pocket forms an internal support bra of sorts during this time. Wearing a good underwire bra during this phase of your healing makes a difference on where the final "settling" occurs. If your surgeon recommends this, I would be sure to follow his or her... more
