Are there any undesired effects of wearing push up bras over augmented breasts over a long term?

May 22, 2016
Asked By:Magicwonder in California, CA

I have 250cc textured, high profile implants for five months. I am hesitant to wear push up bras because I am concerned that the 'pushing up' of the implants might cause my breasts to be deformed if I wore them for a long time, except when I'm sleeping. I tried wearing a push up bra for half a day and it made the lower area of my breasts, where the push up cushions were situated, to ache after that. I am concerned about a distortion in shape or position by wearing push up bras over time.
