Breast implants - how long to I have to wear a surgical bra?

Depending on your surgeon they have different post-op care that they find works best for their patients. At my practice I have my patients wear the garment we provide for them for the first week. If they are healing appropriately after that period I do recommend that that they continue wearing a similar supportive bra for 6 weeks after surgery. If healing going well after the 6 weeks they are then able to wear any bra that they are comfortable with. Thanks and all the best.

Every surgeon has a different opinion of how long you should wear your surgical bra.I actually think the standard surgical bras are quite uncomfortable and a bit unnecessary. I generally recommend that my patients wear a nice, comfortable sports bra (preferably with a zipper in front) for about six weeks. At six weeks, I will allow the use of standard, underwire bra.It goes without saying that when seeking advice for breast augmentation, you use a surgeon that is certified by the American Board of plastic surgery. I wish you the best! Dr. Gabbay.
