Question

I'm 13 weeks post op & I haven't slept without a sports bra/crop top yet. I am worried it my cause harm to my implants - I have mentor 475cc (left) & 420cc (right) anatomical, under the muscle. Will sleeping on my sides without any type of support cause them to shift/move? Or should I be alright? Thanks in advance

Thank you for your question.  I advise my patients to wear a support bra 24/7 for 6 weeks post-operatively. You should be fine to sleep without a bra at this point.  Also, make sure you follow all of your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions regarding level of physical activity and use of a support bra. Hope this helps and good luck with your recovery.

After 13 weeks I think it is fine for you to sleep without a bra.  By now the implant pocket should be well formed and should not be adversely affected by everyday activities such as sleeping, exercise or your work.If you have any questions it is always a good idea to check with your surgeon as well since they can give you specific advice based on your medical history and operative details.All the best,Dean

It is very unlikely that sleeping without a bra will cause any issues with your breasts or implants.Congratulations on a great result.Regards

By 13 weeks after breast augmentation if should be able to  sleep without a bra.  Of course follow the specific advice of your plastic surgeon.

Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) · Answer

At 13 weeks it should be fine to sleep without a bra.  Your breast pocket should be formed and healed.  Check in with your surgeon for an evaluation and to get his thoughts.
