Now i am 11 weeks after surgery, i cant ask my doctor, in my country(smaller country in Europe actually) doctors are different for communication with patients , thats why i must inform like this about everything . Thanks you so much in advance and best regards!
Answer: Bra We recommend for our patients to wear support as much as possible during the first 6 months after surgery. We recommend sleeping in the bra x 6 months. We do not recommend chest work outs for 6 weeks. Once patients start working out again, we recommend for them to wear the bra x 3 months. Some patients feel more comfortable always wearing the bra to work out to give more support. You should check with your surgeon for his/her specific recommendations.

Answer: How long must I wear sports bra after breast augmentation while I am sleeping and when I am working out? It's a great question. Your surgeon is the only one who can give you specific advice. In my office I don't use any special bras and my patients leave the operating room with only two Band-Aids. I don't do any wrapping either. After one week, most women will wear a band bra, or loose fitting sports bra. I recommend avoiding underwire bras for six weeks.

Answer: Post Op Bra Support Hello,Thank you for your question. Most Plastic Surgeons will ask that you avoid wearing underwire for at least 2 months post op and choose a soft, supportive bra. Many surgeons supply a surgical bra. I advise my patients to continue long term support by wearing a soft bra at night on an ongoing basis. All the best

Answer: Breast Augmentation/Breast Implants/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision I appreciate your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon

Answer: Bra after breast augmentation Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. There is no “standard” when it comes to the use of specific bras or garments after breast surgery. In other words, different plastic surgeons may have different practices when it comes to postoperative dressings/bras. In my practice, patients wake up with a surgical bra in place. This surgical bra, although not attractive, is supportive and used for about one month after surgery (some of my patients have been known to burn the bra ASAP). Then, patients transition to a soft sports bra. Wired bras are used when breast have reached their “final position” and patients have full sensation along the breast skin. Generally, the longer I have been in practice, the more I appreciate the long term use of supportive bras after all types of breast surgery. This additional support may be especially helpful when patients are lying down and/or engaged in strenuous exercise. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
