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: When to stop wearing compression bra after surgery? Congratulations on your surgery. This is a great question for your plastic surgeon. They are the only ones who can give you specific advice. In my office, I don't have my patients wear any special bras. They really don't wear any bra for the first week, and then up wearing loose fitting sports bras until the six week mark. At that time, they can then begin wearing underwire bras.

Answer: When to stop wearing compression bra after surgery? Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. There is no “standard” when it comes to the use of specific bras or garments after breast surgery. In other words, different plastic surgeons may have different practices when it comes to postoperative dressings/bras. Therefore, best to check with your plastic surgeon. For example, in my practice, patients wake up with a surgical bra in place. This surgical bra, although not attractive, is supportive and used for about one month after surgery (some of my patients have been known to burn the bra ASAP). Then, patients transition to a soft sports bra. Wired bras are used when breast implants have reached their “final position” and patients have full sensation along the breast skin. Best wishes.

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!
