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

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?

Your breasts are moderatly large and ptotic(droopy). You did not say if you were planing on having more children, but because of your age, i would assume this a possibility. In my opinion, the best cosmetic result would be achieved by having a lift alone. However, if you are wanting alot of...

Your pictures indicate that you do have a tuberous breast deformity. You also have a volume asymmetry,with the right breast being larger and droopier than the right. This can be corrected by doing a breast lift or small reduction, however if you are going to loose a great deal of weight,i would...

A breast lift will reshape your breasts to make them perkier and fuller, but unfortunately the procedure will not correct flat nipples. If you want to make your nipples more prominent, you can ask your surgeon about inverted nipple correction. This can be performed at the same time as your...

Thank you for your picture and questions. This type of appearance is completely typical of a procedure such as yours. The point at which the two incisions meet is the point at which the blood supply to the skin and soft tissue is the worst. When some of that tissue dies, you are left with a...

Thank you for your inquiry. Being at your ideal weight, a weight that you have maintained for at least 6 months is ideal prior to considering surgery, including a breast lift. Your weight loss can change the breast volume, skin laxity and shape of your breasts and so waiting until you have...
