Wearing bra after explant. Any suggestions? (photos)

I would suggest asking your plastic surgeon what bra you should be wearing now. I ask my patients to wear a soft sports bra for one month to avoid irritation to the incision and underwires.

This question is best answered by your surgeon who is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. Typically surgical bras or dressings are recommended for a few weeks after surgery.

The #compression #bra acts as a “dressing,” holding the breasts in position. If the bra feels too tight or hurts, switch immediately to sports type bra that feels comfortable. You should wear the bra at all times for at least three weeks. You will probably be more comfortable if you do not wear an underwire bra but you should always wear support.  It is always recommended to call and see your surgeon to discuss your concerns as each has their own post-op suggestions based on each patient's individual situation.
