I am seven weeks past my operation date and want to know whrn I can stop wearing a bra at night as I am not sleeping well. Also what is the guideline for swimming?
Answer: Stop wearing a bra after breast augmentation Every practice is a bit different when it comes to protocols for when different bras can be worn. In my practice, I tell my patients that a soft compression garment should be worn for 6 weeks. After this time, any bra can be worn. As far as not wearing bras. I caution that continued support with a bra takes the pressure off the weight of the implant therefore preventing stretching of the breast over time. Although not necessary to wear a bra 24/7, the more you use a bra even at night the more support you will have over time and less the likelihood of needing a lift or skin tightening procedure over time in your breast.Best wishes,Dr. Ravi Somayazula

CONTACT NOW Answer: When can I stop wearing a bra at night after Breast Augmentation? My operation was 7 weeks ago and all is well. By 7 weeks after a normal uncomplicated breast augmentation my patients are able to swim and did not need to wear a bra at night. However it is best that she'll contact your plastic surgeon for advice and not rely on the Internet.

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Garments Thank you for your question. In my practice, I ask patients to wear a light weight compression sports bra for 24 hours/day for the first 4 weeks and I allow patients to return to normal activities between 4-6 weeks post-op depending upon how they are healing. With that said, it is really up to your plastic surgeon to decide when you can discontinue use of the bra at night and when you can begin swimming. Please follow up with your operating surgeon to discuss their specific recovery and post operative protocols as they are most familiar with your procedure and recovery thus far. I hope this helps and I wish you the best in your recovery.
