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?

Answer: Compression Bra Question In my practice we advise patients to wear a compression bra for 6 weeks after surgery. However, post-op procedures vary by surgeon, patient, and surgery so I recommend closely following your plastic surgeon’s instructions and following up with him if you have any questions.

Answer: Compression Bra I typically tell my patients they can stop wearing the compression bra that they were sent home in on the day of surgery 7-14 days post-operatively. However, they must wear some kind of sports bra (compression bra) for the remaining 4 weeks after. Make sure the bra gives you some kind of compression to help with placement and swelling. The best thing to do is to contact your Plastic Surgeon and find out what he/she wants. Best of Luck!
