No bra after breast augmentation surgery, but shape of breast is ugly (Photo)

Question

It’s 2 day-surgery from 34B to 400cc silicone implants over the mussel. I’’ disappointed. My doctor removed bandages today and asked me to go without the bra. I am extremely scared, because the look of my breast is ugly and I think bra would help to obtain better shape. I am really scared that my breast won’t look nice- the shape I have now, Its weird and meybe bra would help? Will shape of breast change for better without the bra and the distance between breasts will be smaller? Please advise

Hi.  It is fairly common for patients to be concerned about how they look right after their surgery.  For a breast augmentation it does take a while for the tissues to relax and get used to the new implant that is there.  This is a gradual process, and as the tissues relax, the breast tends to look more normal.  Your result at this extremely early time frame appears very reasonable.  Stay in close contact with your operating surgeon so that he or she can help guide you through this healing process.  Good luck and take care,Dr. Howell

Because you are in the early stages of healing from your breast augmentation procedure, it is too early to see the final results. Your body will continue to heal and swelling will diminish over the next several weeks. The implants themselves can take many months to drop and settle under your skin. After this time, you will have a much better idea of what your breasts will look like.

Dear nobra issue,I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.Daniel Barrett, MD

You are still very early in the healing process and what you are seeing are not your final results yet. It usually takes about 6 months or so for your body to fully heal and only by this time will you be able to conclude your final results. It would be best to be patient and wait for at least 3 months as your appearance would still improve overtime.

It will take time for things to settle and I would run your concerns past your plastic surgeon. A bra that is too tight and causing compression in the incorrect fashion is best avoided.
