I am 4 1/2 weeks out from surgery and loving my new boobs!!! I am sooo tired of these sports bras though and wondering how long before I should start buying new bras? They look like they are dropping quite well, one more so than the other but that is normal. I know that they say could have swelling for several months but surely I am not expected to wear these silly sports bras forvever!!! 475cc Saline under the muscle is what I got, increased me from 32B to 34DD (sized today)

Answer: Shopping for new bras after breast implants Thank you for your question. As a general rule, I request that my patients wear a light weight compression sports bra for four weeks after surgery. After this time, patients can begin to transition into other bras but I caution patients from going out and buying a ton of fancy, expensive bras until they are roughly three months post-op. I recommend that patients purchase a few bras once they are 4-6 weeks out from surgery and wait to purchase a bunch more until their implants are fully settled. I hope this helps and good luck with your new breasts!

Answer: Buying bras after breast implants Yes, you are still swollen. This swelling may persist for a few weeks. Your implants probably seem "high" to you as well. This is normal as people usually look great on the table, and when they wake up the implants rise up toward the collar bone. They will usually start to move downward at about three weeks. It may take 6 to 12 months for some implants to settle into final position. Do not run out and buy a bunch of new bras anytime soon. Let your board certified plastic surgeon know your thoughts. They will help you through the process.

Answer: Shopping for a bra following surgery. Hello, and thank you for this question. We generally recommend our patients shop for a bra approximately 4-6 weeks following their procedure. At that point the majority of the swelling should be gone and the breast have started to settle into place.
