Will wearing a steel-boned underbust corset after incisions heal mess up the implants? (photo)

I think you can wear the Corset once your implants have settled and you're fully healed. As the previous surgeon suggested 3 months might be a good starting point. I think your plastic surgeon is the best resource to answer this question. Best, Dr. Aldo:)

Breast implants are about 75 to 80 percent settled at three months. At this time, I advise my patients they can wear and do anything and everything they desire with no concern regarding the effect on the outcome of their surgery. Your surgeon may have a different opinion. Good luck. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

It is not clear how long post op you are but I would recommend 6 weeks before wearing underwire bras or corset if the incisions are in the inframammary fold and healing well. If wearing a bra is irritating the wounds you can insert a silicone sheet in the area such as Mepitac or SilTape. Hope this helps,Dr K Dolynchuk

use of the steel boned corset should not be an issue for you.  But its best to check with your chosen surgeon so he/she can look at the kind of garment you're thinking of wearing and give you his/her expert advice.  After all, if you do develop a problem related to the corset, your surgeon is likely the one to be managing it so let your surgeon know and get his/her opinion.

In our practice we would ask you not wear that corset for 2-3 months, until implants have really settled, but best check with your surgeon first. Best wishes.
