Wearing a bra helps supports the breasts so they don't sag. Sagging is something that can happen sooner with the additional weight of the implants if you don't wear a bra.
Depending on the size of your implants and your body frame, the added weight can accelerate sagging if not supported on a regular basis with a bra. However, if appropriately sized implants were placed, then this is less of an issue. Good Luck.
Unfortunately, time and gravity are not our friends; common sense tells me that the use of supportive bras will help prevent “sagging” as much as possible. Best wishes.
RE : " heard that u don't have to wear all the time after u get implants but would that not cause them to sag sooner? Or will it matter much?" The breast a a sag-prone organ. Despite all the care in the world the beautiful, perky breasts of a 20 year old will not bed there at age 50 because no human has ever beaten Gravity and aging. Similarly, gravitational pull is greater on heavier objects. As such, heavier / larger breasts will sag sooner than lighter, non-weighted down breasts. Put another way, an augmented breast will sag quicker than a non-augmented breast. As a result, using a well fitted bra will help you combat gravity. The longer you wear it, the longer you will put off the inevitable sagging. Dr. Peter A Aldea
Going braless on a regular basis, particularly when working out can definitely contribute to sagging. As my wife says to our breast augmentation patients "Protect your assets"
Wearing a bra 24/7 does not eliminate the risk of sagging over time. Weight fluctuation, the volume of the implant, and skin quality impact sagging the most.
Hello. Thank you for your inquiry. That is true.Please ensure to get cleared by your doctor before engaging in specific physical activity before the 3 month healing period has ended as the healing stage is crucial for healthy results.It generally takes around 6 months to a year to see your final results.

Certainly, ocasionally going braless if fine after an augmentation but if you want to hold up the result best over the longterm, it stands to reason that wearing a good bra most of the time is intelligent.
It is okay to go braless occasionally, but the" girls" need support to prevent gravity's stretching and sagging effects.
Within reason going braless intermittently should not be a problem. More frequently, however, time plus weight plus gravity will cause sagging. I hope this info helps.
Your post op result looks normal for 1 week. Swelling following a breast enlargement is normal and will last from a few weeks to a few months. There is not much you can do to make it go down any faster. I am sure that once the swelling resolves, you will be happy with your size. If you still...

The contour of your breast appears as if the breast tissue has "dropped" by sliding downward over your implant. The implant often sits up higher on your chest and overtime your breast tissue can relax and settle downward, hence, the lower position. I hope this helps.
