I wanted to know why most surgeons want a the surgical bra on for all day / all night during the first couple of weeks of a BA? I have mine on and will continue to wear it until my surgeon says otherwise. There are times during the day though, especially at night, were I would like to not have it on. Is it necessary to be on 24/7 for just a few days? Weeks? Thanks in advance!
Answer: Surgical bras Surgical bras are worn for support and comfort after surgery. You should talk to your surgeon about their preferred specific recommendations. We all have different post op regimens, I also have my patients wear supportive bras for 4-6 weeks post op. a compromise would be taking your support bra off at night so long as you are sleeping on your back but you must clear this with your surgeon

Answer: What is the purpose of the surgical bra 24/7? Thank you for your question. I am an advocate for the use of supportive bras after breast augmentation surgery. In my opinion, the use of the supportive bra may help prevent breast implants from moving into the "paths of least resistance": down or out. Having said that, 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.

Answer: What is the purpose of the surgical bra 24/7? Each surgeon has her/his own post op regimen for breast augmentation based on the technique they are comfortable with. For me, I make my patients wear a bra for post op support for a week then off the bra for a month. Breasts are better supported when walking, sleeping, going down the stairs etc.They weight of the breasts and implants will not pull on stitches or the wound.
