Surgeon recommendations: types of bra moving forward (8 weeks post breast aug and lift)?

anon48923May 10, 2018
I’m now 8 weeks post op uplift and implants. I had a great result & finally feel like myself again. My implants continue to drop albeit slowly. I haven’t been wearing underwire bras. Do I absolutely have to wear underwire bras moving forward. I’ve never really liked them even before implants - I’m much happier in softer bras like Calvin kleins or sports bras or soft bralettes. Is this ok to wear most days moving forward or must I wear underwire? What do you surgeons think?
