A capsulorrhaphy (on rib) was done after I decided to change my 10 year-old implants. I went from 270cc (saline) to 345cc (gel Natrelle Inspira SSF). How critical is it to wear a bra during healing? Because I did not and one breast bottomed out. How likely is it that this is the cause? A young doctor did the operation. A couple of weeks after the surgery I probed him on whether it was important to wear a bra during healing time, he insisted that it wasn't a must, hence why he did not mention it.
Answer: Bra during healing. I am a big fan of bra support post-breast surgery, but especially after revision surgery. Whether underwire bra or post-revision straps, having initial support for at least the period of 4-6 weeks (maybe longer) does make a difference imo. In terms of your particular case, it is hard to give you a more precise answer on this forum just based on the information and photos alone that you have provided.

Answer: Bottoming out Dear Black Dress,bottoming out occurs when the implant falls below the current breast crease or inframammary line. It's more likely to happen with inframammary incisions, which is why I try not to use the inframammary approach to any breast surgery.

Answer: Capsulorrhaphy: How critical is it to wear a bra during healing? I did not and one breast bottomed out. I am sorry to hear about the problem you are experiencing. There are several important "factors" involved in this type of revisionary breast surgery. Most important (in my opinion): plastic surgeon experience level. In other words, experience level and technical expertise play the biggest role when it comes to successful outcomes with this type of revisionary breast surgery. Careful attention to postoperative activity limitations as well as use of appropriate postoperative support of dressing/garments are also important. I hope this helps.

Answer: Underwire bra is helpful after capsulorrhaphy It is important to add the necessary support with a bra but this should not be the only factor in determining success. It would be useful to know why the capsulorrhaphy was necessary, for example perhaps the muscle was pushing the implant out of position.

Answer: IMO a proper underwire bra is critical 24/7 for 3 months For all my primary augmentations and all revisions who come to see me, I always use a specific bra 24/7 for 3 months. That way I put the implants in perfect position, the bra holds them perfectly,and you heal them perfectly. I only need to do any revisions once evry 2 years and I do about 200 BA's each year.
