Asked By:liliana96 in Murrieta, CA

I'm almost 5 weeks post op my plastic surgeon told me I can stop wearing the surgical bra and wear whatever bra I want except underwire or push up. The only bra I found that feels comfortable is a seamless bra (genie bra) that is slightly padded.. it has a pocket so I can take out the pads if I want. Is it ok to keep the pads in or should I take them out?
