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: Supportive bra It is unlikely that a supportive bra will correct implants that have dropped too low. It is a good idea to wear a good fitting bra and avoid strenuous activity or bouncing until cleared by your surgeon to avoid further dropping. I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: Implants If you are still early in your healing phase, then supporting bras can help correct the problem in many cases. Do avoid any activity that causes a lot of bouncing and pushing the breasts down.

Answer: Can low implants from premature dropping be lifted with use of an underwire / supportive bra? Hello. Not really. Maybe special tape on the infra-mammary fold for an extensive amount of time. But usually revision surgery is needed to lift the breast and or to lift/redo the infra mammary fold. Remember, it is good to wait around 6 months for a revision. So I suggest you try anything for now, and just be patient until its time for a revision. Best of luck, Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Low breast implants If the implants are too low after breast augmentation, it is unlikely that wearing a supportive bra will lift them into a higher position permanently. There is no harm in trying, but you would likely need revision surgery to properly position the implants. Implants tend to drop too low because of a combination of implant size (too large), loss of control of the lower fold of the breasts, and/or weak tissues that cannot support the implant. Any plan to correct the implant position should consider these factors. I would recommend discussing your concerns with your surgeon to determine the best course of action.

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.
