Hello @kristy434 and thank you for your question. The post-operative instructions that I give to my patients is to wear a bra without an underwire for at least the first 2 months after breast augmentation surgery. That said, all surgeons have their own postoperative guidelines. I suggest that you consult with your plastic surgeon for his or her post-operative instructions. Hope this helps.James Lee, MDBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon Montreal, Canada
It certainly is safe, however all surgeons have guidelines for activity and types of bras after surgery. I recommend that you inquire of your surgeon for guidance. In my practice, I recommend not using wired bras until one month after surgery, at which time they can wear any type of bra, or none. I also allow them to resume full physical activity at that time without restrictions.
Always check with your surgeon to get their exact advice, but I most typically clear my patients to wear any bra that they wish after 6 weeks.Best wishes!Daniel Brown, MD, FACSBoard Certified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic SurgeonsMember American Society of Plastic SurgeonsCastle Connolly Top DocReal Self Top 500
