How long after breast lift until I can wear a normal bra? (Photo)

June 22, 2017
Asked By:jamieekins in Kansas City, MO

I am 4.5 weeks breast lift & augmentation. My surgeon told me I could wear sports bras and normal bras without an underwire now but He didn't want me having a lot of pressure on my nipples. So, I went and bought a bra today (they sized me), and it's made out of stretchy material but is compression. I feel better wearing this bra instead of my post surgical bra because my post bra is way too big on me and gives me no support. My nipples are 100% healed. Can I just wear my new bra and not worry?
