Does Wearing a Bra Protect Breast Implants from Bottoming Out?

Wearing a bra can help support the skin envelope holding up the implant. So, I would recommend wearing one as much as you can during the day. Also, working out may stress the implants and cause the skin to stretch out faster. Therefore, make sure you have excellent bra support while doing any aerobic activity.

I do not necessarily believe that bras prevent bottoming out but when I perform a repair of a breast that has bottomed out or repair a breast implant that falls to the side, I will recommend that patients wear a bra 24/7 to support and reinforce the capsulorrhaphy for a minimum of 3-6 weeks
