Can wearing a padded or push-up sports bra after a breast augmentation help you to heal with permanent cleavage? (Photo)

Breast augmentation could increase the cleavage of the breast depending on the type of implant used.Silicone filled breast implants  give more cleavage to the breast than saline filled breast implantsA round high profile silicone implant gives more cleavage that a shaped silicone implant.Wearing a padded bra or a push-up sports bra after a breast augmentation very unlikely help to heal with a "permanent cleavage" since the bra doesn't affect the affect the shape of the breast implant or the shape the implant gives to the breast tissue. 

Thank you for your question.Best would be to check with your surgeon as surgeons have different protocols for their post-op.Generally speaking would not recommend a push-up bra after anchor lift.  Over-all bras dont have a role (or they "shouldn't!") in providing a permeant cleavage.  Would be the actual procedure which will determine the results.All the best,

Hi Karissa,Thanks for your question and photos. We
know that it takes time for the implants to settle and be in the position that they were placed during surgery. Implants that are placed under the muscle tend
to live in higher breast pocket position than those over the muscle. Support bras help to keep the implants in the position that they were placed during surgery. They usually don't improve with bras but it certainly doesn't hurt. Remember that clevage is based on how much muscle your have and how wide your breast bone(sternum) is and wether the implants were placed over or under the muscle.
I recommend being seen by your surgeon and follow their recommendations. Good Luck
All the best,
