How soon after breast reduction can I wear a bathing suit without the surgical bra?

Question

I just got a breast reduction May 13th and will be going to the beach early August, and I want to know if I'll even be able to wear a bathing suit without having to wear my surgical bra.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us. it's not time enough to express a valid opinion of results.On the other hand, generally to avoid the normal p.o. swelling, I recommend to limit the arms movement for two weeks. Also it's not advisable to carry weight and take the antiinflamatory painkillers drugs.Finally, I recommend you always use a therapeutic bra.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I usually allow patients to go into a regular bra after about 6-8 weeks or when they have healed adequately. Best of ask your surgeon.
