Will Going Braless Cause Ur Implants to Sag After a Long Time?

Question

I 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?

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

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.

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Unfortunately, time and gravity are not our friends;  common sense tells me that the use of supportive bras will help  prevent &ldquo;sagging&rdquo; as much as possible.

	Best wishes.

	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.

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"

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

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. Your tissues will take time to relax and allow your implants to "Drop and Fluff" settling into place. Should a revision cross your mind, it is best to wait at least 6 months to a year before doing so.

Our tips for recovery following breast augmentation are to wear a supportive sports bra for 3 months post-operative and refrain from lifting anything heavier than 10 lbs for 3 weeks as we don't want any strain at your incision sites. Make sure to keep the area of your stitches clean by cleansing with hydrogen peroxide daily. Showering is encouraged! But, no sitting in water for 2 weeks following surgery (no baths, hot tubs, pools etc.).

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.

Emily Pollard, MD (retired) · Answer

It is okay to go braless occasionally, but the" girls" need support to prevent gravity's stretching and sagging effects.

Ronald H. Stefani Jr, MD (retired) · Answer

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.
