Can I go braless? I am 2 days away from my 3 weeks post op. I had 295cc teardrop implant under muscle.

Question

Hi, I am 2 days away from my 3 weeks post op. I had 295cc teardrop implant under muscle. I am feeling ok, and my doc told me to wear my post op bra for 6 weeks. I was thinking if I can go braless for a day (not doing activities). Appreciate any suggestions, thanks

I would recommend that you follow your PS's post-operative advice.  Sports bras may be OK for the first 6 weeks or so; I do not recommend underwire bras. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Hi lenmylo, 
  
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including wearing of bra) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors. 
  
It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

It is best that you follow all of your surgeons post operative instructions. Or ask your surgeon directly, your surgeon knows you best. Good luck.
