Is it okay to wear a tank top to bed 10 day after my breast augmentation? It isn't too tight or too loose but fits snug like a sports bra. The sports bra's rub on my incisions making them hurt overnight so I'm trying to find a better alternative. Also just for record. I was a small 32 B before surgery. I got 325 CC's silicon gel under the muscle. Thank you.
Answer: Ask your surgeon first I would recommend you ask your surgeon what their opinion is. If the sports bra is irritating your incisions that isn’t a good thing. However, if you’ve been advised to wear a sports bra then you should continue to do so. You may want to try a different bra or keep the strap off of your incision somehow.

Answer: Bra after breast augmentation The recommendations will vary depending on your surgeons practice and experience. It is my advise you follow his recommendations. In my practice I recommend my patients use a special support bra without any underwire or push up for the first four weeks at all times.

Answer: What bra should I wear after a breast augmentation? I would defer to your Plastic Surgeon's post-op recommendation, however, in my practice, I am comfortable with my patients switching to a comfortable bra (or snug-fitting tank) of their choice after one week.

Answer: Tank Top This is a question we here most often. However, it is best to contact your Plastic Surgeon and ask what their protocol is. Most of the time it is required to wear the sports bra for 6 weeks before jumping in to a tank top. You might want to try and apply a small gauze around the incision to help ease the pain you are feeling. Best of luck !

Answer: Can I wear a tank top to bed 10 days after breast augmentation? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure; given that you have chosen your plastic surgeon, it is best to follow his/her "protocol" given that your plastic surgery knows what works best when it comes to achieving patient pleasing outcomes in his/her practice. Generally speaking, 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. 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, patients transition to a soft sports bra. Wired bras are used when breast have reached their “final position” and patients have full sensation along the breast skin. Generally, the longer I have been in practice, the more I appreciate the long term use of supportive bras after all types of breast surgery. This additional support may be especially helpful when patients are lying down and/or engaged in strenuous exercise. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
