Hi, After a breast lift is healed (I understand a bra must be worn during healing) will I have to wear a bra forever, or can I go braless? One of the reasons I want a lift is so I can feel comfortable going braless, as I already frequently go without one and much prefer it that way. Would going braless after a lift is healed ruin the results? I like to go without one for days at a time. I wouldn’t want a lift if that means I have to wear a bra forever, so this feels important for me to know.
