How long do you have to wear the sports bra after breast augmentation?

Thank you for your question! I tell my patients to wear comfortable sports bras or bras for at least one month after surgery and to avoid wearing bras with underwire during this time. The underwire in a bra can rub against the incision site and cause a lot of irritation and prevent the incision from healing properly. It is best to wait 6-8 weeks before proper sizing to allow for swelling to resolve itself. If you have any further questions I recommend reaching out to your plastic surgeon to discuss his/her protocol after surgery. Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.Depending on the particulars of your surgery and the implants that you have the length of time you will be required to wear the bra will vary. It may be anything form 6-12 weeks.
