do I sleep with it on always
Answer: How long should you wear compression bra following breast augmentation You should always follow the instructions of the surgeon who is providing your care. That said, I instruct my patients to wear a sports bra day and night for one month following their breast augmentation. The bra can be removed briefly to shower.

Answer: How long do I wear this compression bra or can I take it off for a certain period of time? The question regarding the use of bras is surprisingly common on this website; 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. Therefore, best to check with your plastic surgeon. For example, in my practice, patients wake up with a surgical bra in place. This surgical bra, although not attractive, is supportive and used for about one month after surgery (some of my patients have been known to burn the bra ASAP). Then, patients transition to a soft sports bra. Wired bras are used when breast implants have reached their “final position” and patients have full sensation along the breast skin. Best wishes.

Answer: Wearing bra after breast augmentation This is a question you need to ask your PS as we all have different protocols. If you find the compression bra uncomfortable you may want to try a padded sports bra without any underwire.
