Could I go braless for a few hours at 9 - 10 weeks post-op?

RSMember19310Mar 23, 2019

Breast augmentation. I’m about 9-10 weeks post op . I was wondering if it’s ok to go “braless” for a few hours? I have a party next weekend and I don’t want to wear a bra, my surgeon requested I wear my surgical bra for the first 3 months all the time. I was just wondering if I can go braless for a few hours?

You are early on in your recovery therefore swelling may be adding the size of your breasts. Please allow about 4 months or so for your breasts to drop and fluff, and to allow the majority of the swelling to subside, before assessing your results.

Yes, it's very important that a friend or relative pick you up and stay with you for the first 24 hours following your surgery. You will be drowsy from your anesthetic and you might generally feel soreness and discomfort and having someone on hand to help you is very important to your healing...

Hi & thanks for your question! It is a good idea to have your implants checked every few years. Your surgeon will have his/her own protocol for how often they like to see patients for follow up appointments. Best wishes!
