My breast augmentation is 4 days from now. My doctor told me to buy a sports bra, but I was wondering if it was ok to go braless 1 day post-op for 3-5 hours? I have a special event to attend Thanks
Answer: Ask your surgeon first This is a question you should ask your surgeon. Each surgeon has their own instructions regarding wearing post-operative support, so you should find out what your surgeon recommends specifically.

Answer: No bras, straps or appliances will create something that was not created in surgery After breast augmentation I find no particular advantage to the use of surgical bras. In fact, I find that they can do more harm than good. They hold the implants too high, preventing them from dropping into position. In addition, they can put pressure on the healing breast or the wound. They provide no advantage. If the surgery was performed correctly, external appliances after surgery are unnecessary to achieve the appropriate final implant position. At one month we allow the patients to wear a soft cup bra with no underwire. At two months, they can wear any bra with a wire without push up. Before three months it is not wise to buy a whole new set of bras. By six months, the bra size is not going to change. You need to try bras on. Being measured is almost never productive and almost always oversizes. Find the ones that you like the way they fit.

Answer: BA post op, advices: 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 implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards
