Can I wear a bra with underwire a month after a fat transfer?

Question

Today is 4 weeks and I'm still wearing the surgical bra. Can I stop? What type of bra should I wear now? Will underwire affect the results?

Winfield Hartley, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

At 4 weeks, you should be able to wear whatever bra is comfortable without effecting your results.  An underwire is fine.

Brian C. Reuben, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Generally I have patients go back to their bra of choice around 4 weeks.  It is always best to see what your surgeon recommends and to follow their direction.  Best wishes.

Gerald Minniti, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello,It matters not what bra you wear. Of the fat that was transferred, what's alive will remain alive, and what did not survive the transfer is slowly dissipating. Wear what feels comfortable. Best of luck!

David C. Yao, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for asking. I don't have my patients wear a bra with an underwire after most breast procedures including fat transfer for 4-6 weeks. A soft bra or other garment is used. The exact location of fat within the breast recipient site may matter. Talk with your PS. Your exact case is specific to you. Best wishes

Michael M. Omidi, MD, FACS · Answer

The decision should be made by your surgeon.  In general 4 weeks should be sufficient for the fat to have taken residence and not have restrictions on garments.  Best of luck to you.  Dr. Michael Omidi
