I'm worried about going back to work completely flat as a pancake because in have to wear a really tight ace bandage like bra or wrap. Can you help me understand the after care. When I would be able to wear a normal wireless padded bra post surgery? Thanks.

Answer: How long do you have to wear compression bra after implant removal Thank you for your question. Every surgeon has their own post-operative protocol. Please call your plastic surgeon’s office for the details. Best of luck

Answer: No bras for one month After breast implant revision or removal surgery, I advise the patients to take one week off from work. We do not use bras for one full month after surgery. At that point we take out their stitches and drains. The patients may return to work, but may not engage in any strenuous activity. At one month, the patients start to wear a soft cup bra with no underwire and can start low impact cardio. This is when it is safe to sleep on your side or belly. At two months they can wear an underwire bra and engage in more strenuous physical activity.
