my chest hurt after i wore tight bandeau for whole day, is it just a temporary set back?
Answer: Bandeau After Surgery Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. The question regarding the use of bras is surprisingly common on this website; there is no “standard” when it comes to the use of specific bras or garments after breast surgery. In other words, different plastic surgeons may have different practices when it comes to postoperative dressings/bras. Therefore, best to check with your plastic surgeon. For example, in my practice, patients wake up with a surgical bra in place. This surgical bra, although not attractive, is supportive and used for about one month after surgery (some of my patients have been known to burn the bra ASAP). Then, patients transition to a soft sports bra. Wired bras are used when breast implants have reached their “final position” and patients have full sensation along the breast skin. Best wishes; hopefully, you will be very pleased with the longer-term outcome of the procedure performed.

Answer: Bandeau Bra After Breast Augmentation Yes, it is safe to wear a bandeau bra at four weeks postbreast-augmentation, provided there is no underwire in the bra. You likelydidn’t negatively impact the results of your surgery. Rather, the bandeau couldhave been just too tight.

Answer: Post operative garment following breast augmentation For the first 6 weeks I prefer my patients to wear a comfortable well supporting bra. While I doubt you did any permanent damage to the breast implant or augmentation result it may be best to go back to a more suitable bra for now.
