Wearing underwire with breast implants?

May 1, 2023
Asked By:Peaceful9125 in Beverly Hills, California

I've read that wearing an underwire bra frequently can increase likelihood of rupturing implants? Is this true. I wear an underwire bra all day and to sleep (unless I'm exercising) - is this bad? I thought wearing an underwire bra was beneficial for the support.
