How Easily Will my Breast Implant Move?

Please wait 3-4 months before assessing your results. By that time, your breasts will have adopted a more natural breast contour and you'll probably be able to move them around. More movement can be done with submammary implant placement. You should wear a good supportive bra anytime you are up and about, and this is particularly important when exercising. This is to minimize the rate of sagging.

Large breasts with or without implants require a supportive sports bra with high impact exercise. You should avoid running or jumping for the first six weeks. Hope your augmentation meets your expectations!

Dear blondie,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. I would, however, wait 6 weeks before starting running.Best wishes,Pablo Prichard, MD
