If implants drop too low soon after a BA, is it possible to permanently lift them into a higher position by wearing an underwire/supportive bra for the next 2 months?

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear atomickitty4460, I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Answer: Good question... Thank you for your question. It is difficult to answer specifically without knowing when your surgery was, and evaluating you in person, but if your surgery was very recent, wearing an underwire bra 24/7 for 6-8 weeks may prove to be helpful. It would be best to discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. If your implants are smooth surfaced, and they are indeed positioned too low, if a bra does not correct the problem you may have to undergo revision surgery to correct this. If they are textured, they tend to stay put without being able to reposition them very easily. When in doubt, you can always seek a second opinion. The bra trial can certainly do no harm. Best of luck to you.
