When can I wear a bra without holes cut out for nipples for inverted nipple repair?

October 14, 2017

I had mastopexy (anchor cut) with augmentation and bilateral inverted nipple repair on 10/12/17. The surgical bra I was given has become extremely uncomfortable and I'm not near my surgeon to get a new one. He cut holes in the surgical bra to relieve pressure off of my nipples. I would like to avoid cutting holes in any new bras I buy if possible and was wondering how long I would need to wait or if there are any other wound dressing techniques I could utilize?
