Hello, I am one week postop for breast implant removal. I forgot to ask my surgeon if I should massage the scars and also how long I should wait before wearing an underwire bra? He said I could wear a normal bra instead of my sports bra but I forgot to ask about underwire bras.
Answer: Bra choices after surgery Thank you for your question. My patients will have a surgical bra that I place at the time of surgery. They normally wear this for the first week or two and then transition to a sports bra that opens in the front. By six weeks, if their implants have sufficiently descended, I let my patients know they can start wearing a normal bra (including a push-up bra). They may still undergo some changes which can change their bra preferences a few months later.

Answer: Underwire Bra after Breast Implant Removal Good day! Surgeons have different protocols for post op for each patient and for each procedure. Some doctors prefer you to wear a compression garment or a sports bra for a longer period of time, but some don't. It is still best to ask your doctor about detailed information on the aftercare you need and strictly follow post op instructions for best results. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

Answer: How Long After Breast Implant Removal can I Wear Underwire Bras? You have a series of good questions. The answers depend on many factors such as the location of the incision for the removal of the implants, how well you are healing and then you get into some questions that have different answers for different surgeons about when and what type of bra. With that in mind, I recommend directing these questions back to your surgeon's office for final answers.For more information, please go to my website at:WirthPlasticSurgery.com
