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?

Answer: Could I go braless for a few hours at 9 - 10 weeks post-op? It is important to consult with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon regarding recovery protocols. Each surgeon will have specific post-operative instructions that are successful in their practice. In my practice, I have patients wear a surgical compression bra for 6 weeks following their breast augmentation procedure to minimize swelling and allowing the breast to settle appropriately. After 6 weeks, I clear my patients to begin shopping for their new bras, given that at this time their incisions are fully healed, and the breast have settled. It is acceptable to go braless for a few hours at this point in your recovery. Thanks for sharing.

Answer: Enjoy Going Braless for a Few Hours Thank you very much for your question, as it is a good one. At nine or ten weeks post-op, it should be perfectly safe for you to go braless for a few hours, enjoying your new physique. However, your operating surgeon best knows your individual situation and the technique performed. I recommend that you reach out to your breast augmentation surgeon for his/her advice and approval on your evening out without a bra. Carefully continue to follow your surgeon’s instructions for the best results from your breast augmentation
