I'm 8 weeks post op from a BA. Is it OK to wear a regular bra with underwire? (Photo)

Check with your surgeon, but most will allow you to wear underwire at this time point. I normally allow my patients to wear them after one month.

I usually let my patients start wearing an underwire bra at 3 weeks post-op. You should really direct this question to your plastic surgeon, though, as his protocol may be different.  Good luck!

Dear funbox01,It is best to ask your operating surgeon what they think. Each doctor has different guidelines for post op care.

My  incisions for breast augmentation are hidden in the inframammary fold measuring about 3 cm.  I let my  patients wear any type of bra by 3 weeks after surgery.  Enjoy!

Usually after one month an underwire bra is fine to wear, as long as it is comfortable.  It is ok to go braless at times as well.  The position should be stable at this point so no worries.  I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your surgery, it appears that you have obtained a very nice result.  Though you should check with your surgeon to ensure it is appropriate, most patients can resume underwire bra use at 6 weeks after surgery and can choose to not use a bra during the day or while sleeping.  In most instances it is wise to always have your breasts well-supported to help take tension off of your breast skin to minimize the development of sagging.  Hope this helps.

Each plastic surgeon has a slightly different protocol and it would be best to check in with yours. That said, at eight weeks I allow my patients to wear any bra they find comfortable or to go without. Congratulations on a beautiful result. -Dr. Meghan Nadeau, Seattle, WA

Each practice will have their own routine, though we would feel it fine to wear any comfortable bra or none at all after 8 weeks. You can check with your surgeon as well for advice.

Since each doctor may have  a different post-op regimen, you should ask your surgeon what his preference is.  Best of luck.

Each Plastic Surgeon has their own opinion on underwire bras, and you should always check with your own Plastic Surgeon for their opinion. In my opinion there is no problem with underwire bras after 6 weeks. By that time the position of the implant is established and the type of bra that is worn should have no effect on the breast itself.
