What bra sould I get 2 weeks post breast augmentation?

Question

1 week after surgery I went and got a under armour 32C sports bra. Now one week later it feels too big. I am unsure if im going to be a B or a C after they drop and fluff and I don't want to spend a fortune on the wrong size bra. My surgery bra was nice but my breasts hurt alot when I walk for longer than an hour. Im not sure if its normal for them to hurt so much when I walk. Should I wear a bra that is tight and keeps them in one place?

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Please talk to your surgeon about which bra to wear at this time. I normally recommend a post surgical bra to be worn day and night for the first two months or so. You should not go bra shopping until about 4 months after your surgery, as by this time your breasts will have dropped and fluffed, giving you a better idea of your final results.

Thank you for your question.  I often recommend that patients find a sports bra that opens in the front and that is comfortable to wear.  They can take breaks during the day and I also encourage breast massage after a week.  It is important for your implants to move around and develop a comfortable space (or capsule) within the breast.

Jon E. Rast, MD · Answer

I usually recommend an inexpensive soft cotton bra that closes in the front. It will normally take several months for you to get your final result.

Your breast will be changing during the first 2 months. It is wise not to spend a lot on expensive bras before that time.  Common  cotton sports bra will do the trick , as you can buy them cheap and have more than one( tight enough to keep your breast in place , but not to tight to make them hurt) Best wishes

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

This sort of question is better addressed to your surgeon.As to fitting, it will take 3 to six months until the implants have settled and stabilized. Wait until then to purchase bras that you can expect to wear for a long time.  Until then sports bras are often the better option. All the best.
