How tight should my sports bra be? (photos)

Hi! I am on day 5 post-op. I am not sure if my sports bra is to tight? Will it help bring my boobs closer together?Will it do any damage? I sleep in the surgical bra at nite, so that they can breath & not be forced together, but both bras are tight. My ribs feel bruised & they leave marks! Any suggestions on how tight a bra is supposed to be would greatly be appreciated. Also, is it ok to lay completely flat on my back when I sleep?

Thanks for the question. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the i...

It looks like your breasts don’t appear to be saggy. Your nipple/areola complex is positioned above the inframammary fold, indicating that your breasts aren’t saggy.

Let's be clear. We're talking about sex . . . er, breast surgery, and the question is what degree of activity (any kind, but more about specifics later) will lead to bleeding and re-operation. Every surgeon will have their own recommendations regarding activity after surgery, and willingness to...

Based on the photos my opinion is that breast augmentation alone will give you a very satisfactory result. Obviously the technique that each doctor applies will give a different result. I think that a dual plane technique with the appropriate implants for your chest is the correct procedure....

It's impossible to say what caused the injury that you see on your right breast. It could possibly be from the cautery device, Steri-Strips causing a skin blister, or some other reason. Regardless of the reason, the area should heal fine. If you have lingering concerns, I would address them with...
