Breast augmentation, leaving a bra off for a few hours?

Leaving your bra off for a few hours will not harm your post op results. I think we will one day find that bras are not all that important for breast augment results. However, you should follow your PS recommendations.

Thank you for your answer. The best person to advice you is your chosen surgeon as every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures.  I have patients wear a soft bra after breast augmentation for a few weeks to splint everything, and at that point the scars are generally very stable and we move to normal bras (or none). 

Hello,Your Plastic Surgeon would be the best person to advise you about bra support as each have their own preferred protocols.All the best 

You should really ask your surgeon about this. Some surgeons insist on wearing support 24/7 after surgery, while others insist on wearing nothing at all. Your surgeon will let you know what to do based on your specific situation. If you do wear a bra, though, I recommend you avoid anything with underwire. Underwire shortly after surgery can be detrimental to your recovery, especially if you’ve had an inframammary incision.

You must confirm with your surgeon but at this stage leaving the bra off for a few hours one evening as long as you are careful will make no difference to your result
