When to stop wearing compression bra after surgery?

May 19, 2015
Asked By:Benson91 in Hampden Sydney, VA

I am 3 weeks post op for under the muscle BA, 295 cc silicone implants. I have been wearing the compression bras provided by my doctor but he has now advised me I can switch to a soft cup bra with no underwire if I choose. Just wanted to check what is the usual amount of time to stop wearing the compression bra as most of what I have read says to wear it for much longer than 3 weeks?
