Dear lori1997,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, Am. Society of Plastic Surgery
Each surgeon has a specific protocol. It may also depend on whether your implants need to drop or need to be supported (which in turn may depend on whether a lift was performed or is needed, or how large the implants are, etc.). Most surgeons recommend a surgical bra furnished at the time of surgery for the first few weeks, then sports or other comfortable cotton bras that open in the front until you get to about a month out. After that, most patients have latitude to find bras that they like but it may also depend on whether you had a lift, since those incisions are lengthier and may take longer to heal.
