My doctor didn't do any bandages, I just bought a zip up sports bra and that's what they sent me home in. I know I need to wear a bra at all times, I just wasnt sure when I could switch to a regular bra. Monday the 14th will be 2 weeks since my surgery.

Answer: Bra wear after #breastaugmentation Hi kcamp05. If you had an incision placed underneath the breasts, an underwire bra will put pressure on it and may impair healing. Keep broad banded bras on for 4 weeks or until your surgeon feels that your healing has progressed. If you have incisions in the armpit, around the areola or in the belly button, a well fitted/supportive bra can be worn without these concerns now. Take care,

Answer: How long after breast augmentation can you switch from your sports bra to a regular bra? Thank you for your question. Recovery after a breast augmentation can be very straight forward with the right surgeon. Precise technique with minimal trauma leads to little pain after surgery, with many of our patients going out for dinner the same night as surgery. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. I have patients wear a soft bra after breast augmentation for around 6 feweeks to splint everything, and at that point the scars are generally very stable and we move to normal bras (or none) and long term scar management.
