Breast Support During Tummy Tuck?

Hello,

 

Normally, wearing a bra after tummy tuck should not an issue but it should not be tight.

Consulting with your surgeon is very important as he/she will have all the instructions you will need to follow as part of your ambulation after the surgery.

Following your surgeon's instructions will help you achieve the best recovery, hence the best results possible.

 

Thank you for your inquiry and the best of luck to you.

Thank you for your question.

Breast support is not needed during surgery and the regular bras you wear now should be okay after surgery. They shouldn't be too tight or binding.

To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.  I hope this helps.

During you shouldn't wear a bra because your surgeon will want the area under the breasts free to be cleaned before the tummy tuck.  While lying on the operating table you are not in danger of damaging your BA.   After the surgery you should be able to wear a bra, so I am not sure why you are asking the question.  There is no reason to be concerned about your BA during or after a tummy tuck.

Your plastic surgeon should be able to give you instructions on what to do and how to prepare
