Sports bras and support should be worn for minimally 4 weeks post breast augmentation surgery
I feel wearing a support bra is important after breast augmentation for the first 8 weeks. But you should ask your surgeon for their advice since it may be different.
Every surgeon has his or her routine with post operative bra use. I usually allow patients to go without their bras for 2-3 weeks as long as it is convenient for them.
This questions is really answered best by your own plastic surgeon. Some prefer bras for a few months, others do not feel it matters at all. For your specific case, simply give a call to the surgeons office. I prefer to keep my patients in a bra for the first 6 weeks after breast augmentation.
I see no reason why you can't go without a bra.I would not do it 24/7.this will only cause your breatss to sag more so support is important.
Hello, Thank you for the question. Wearing a bra depends on how you are healing after your breast augmentation. If your breasts are still on the high side not wearing a bra might do them some good. On the other hand if your breasts are where they need to me and you like how they look I would try and wear a bra as much as you can as this will help maintain your breast shape longer. All the best, Dr Remus Repta
I think that you should ask your doctor what he prefers. In general, I prefer patients to wear a bra because it provides support and adds to the comfort.
You should follow your plastic surgeon's instructions. I personally do not find this to be a problem but everything in moderation.
Surgeons will have preferrences all over the map on this one. Our routine though is a soft bra and band day and night for two weeks to keep things quiet and secure. After two weeks though bra less is fine.
This will depend on many factors such as how your surgery was performed with respect or regard to your breast fold, the quality of your skin envelop and breast tissue, how much muscle release is peformed and the philosophy of the surgeon. At The Loudoun Center for Plastic Surgery, our patients are sent home without a bra for 4 weeks, then they resume regular bra wearing and with activity. For avid runners or high impact activities, we recommend wearing a strong support bra (or two) to avoid too much stretching. Saline is more traumatic than silicone so we encourage heavier bras for the active patients.
I normally recommend waiting for about 6 weeks before beginning any rigorous physical activity, and three weeks is usually enough for aerobic exercise and lower body training. If you won't be carrying anything around or lifting, then it might be okay.
There really is not an incision in the muscle that is sutured during augmentation. The muscle is lifted from the rib cage, and separated or released from the breast bone, and the implant is then placed underneath the muscle. There are no sutures in the area where the muscle is separated. Most...
At bra size 32, each 100 cc of implant will correspond to 1 cup size change. A 315 cc implant will take you up about 3 cup sizes, from a A to a D. I recommend silicone gel implants placed in the retro-pectoral position. Moderate or plus does not matter when placed...
The photograph shows an ideal breast located high on the chest wall, round, areola centered, good skin tone and adequate volume. If you are a small B then you will need an implant to increase the size. However, the other properties of your breast may need to be changed. It is...
Unless your surgery is scheduled at the doctor's own office facility (and even if it is, if the "requirements" for pre-op screening tests such as an EKG are set by the anesthesia provider, not your surgeon), the hospital or surgical center (actually the anesthesia providers who work at these...
Hello Ana, The asymmetry of your areolae can be easily explained by the pre-operative appearance of your breasts. Your left breast was slightly larger and the distance from the chest wall to the areolar edge was greater on the left, so after the augmentation your left areola...
