I Had a BA Just Short of a Year Ago, Will Running Cause Them to Sag? I'm a 38DD and Used to a 34c. (photo)

Dear ks,Thank you for your post. I am very protective of my patients with augmentations who are runners. I recommend that they buy the athleta underwire sports bra with the front adjustable straps. My patients really like this bra for running and find that it holds them very stable. It is cupped instead of compressing the breasts together. Some patients use an additional regular sports bra on top of this for extra security. Some like it for everyday wear in the initial post-operative period. Using a regular sports bra that just compresses the breast together rather than cups that keep their shape can cause flattening of the breasts especially in the early post operative period and wearing a bra that doesn't have enough support, especially when running or any bouncing type activity, can cause bottoming out or stretching of the breasts.Best wishes,Pablo Prichard, MD

There is a risk of future change in breast shape after breast implant surgery. Age, gravity, weight loss and pregnancy are some of the things that can cause the breast tissue to slide off the front of the breast implant. The breast implant doesn't tend to change, but the overlying breast tissue does. Exercise is good for you and should be encouraged, just make sure you wear a good support bra. I hope this helps.
