Are Wireless Push Up Bras Safe to Wear After Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for your question. My patients will have a surgical bra that I place at the time of surgery. They normally wear this for the first week or two and then transition to a sports bra that opens in the front. By six weeks, if their implants have sufficiently descended, I let my patients know they can start wearing a normal bra (including a push-up bra). They may still undergo some changes which can change their bra preferences a few months later.

Hello. When deciding on a bra different things are better for different people. Factors would include size and placement of the incision. A sports bra that zips in front tend to work best soon after the operation. It is best to give your breasts time for swelling to go down and heal some before buying new bras for everyday use.

If you mean by a D cup that you want to turn heads when you walk in the room because of your look, I think that is likely, since you are choosing a larger implant for your height.  It should work ok if you (and your present or future partner) are comfortable with the attention that you will get as a result.

It sounds like your surgeon is being responsible about making sure your implant isn't too big for the space that is available, so your implant doesn't wear out prematurely from being folded over from getting squashed into too small a space.

You will likely wear a stretchy but supportive bra right after surgery and then change to something else when your healing has progressed a little bit.  While it is understandable that you want to find pretty bras now, wait a little while and choose your bras after surgery so you get the best fit.  A non-underwire is usually a good choice in the beginning.
