I am only a week out and I go get my stitches out tomorrow so I will b asked my ps this question as well, just wanting some other opinions. I was wanting to know if wearing an underwire bra this soon after would be a bad thing or good? I don't want my boobs to sag or drop to much to quick since I do have large suglandular implants. I have been wearing a supportive sports bra non-stop since my procedure and will continue to wear it to bed but I was thinking I needed a good underwire for the day
Answer: Underwire bra I appreciate your question.I typically wait 3 weeks before underwire bras is the incision is in the fold. Sports bras offer a good deal of support.Early on as the implants are settling, I don't recommend too much support. The best way to assess and give true advice would an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Postoperative Bra You do have large implants and wearing a supportive bra is imperative. Every surgeon has different preferences regarding underwire bras so I would recommend discussing this with him/her. In general, sports bras or specialized post-surgical bras offer the most support that is distributed throughout your breast rather than just support underneath. #PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #BreastImplant #Implants #Recovery #Postoperativebra

Answer: Underwire timing. If you have an incision beneath your breast, an underwire bra will likely irritate it. I appreciate your concern that you would like to prevent drooping, in the future. I believe that you are at significant risk for that problem since you appear to have very large implants and since they are on top of your muscles, there is now only skin left to hold them up.

Answer: Underwire Bras The concern with underwire is that the metal puts a lot of pressure on the skin or sometimes the incision depending on its location. Your sensation can be altered in the first days after an augmentation. Skin breakdown or wound dehiscence can occur with as little as 8-12 hours of unrelieved pressure to the skin.
