Can I sleep one night without a bra 9 weeks after breast lift?

Thank you for your question! For my patients having a breast lift, I recommend they wear any bra that is comfortable for them, but no underwire for the first 6 weeks post surgery. After that, they have no bra restrictions. Not wearing a bra for a night should not affect your results. I recommend discussing specific post operative instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Hi Jjennjenn,Thank you for sharing your question with us,Keep in mind that every case is different, and your Surgeon will advise you, the timeline recommendations may vary slightly. He/she may advise you to wear your surgical or sports bra a little longer than other patient*s.
You should always default to your surgeons suggestions and feel free to ask questions if something seems unclear.

After six weeks, patients are free to wear a bra at night if they desire. Many patients who have selected large implants prefer a bra for comfort.

Keep up with your Follow ups, this will give you the opportunity to discuss your progress.Hope this has been helpful,All the best

Dear Jjennjenn, Thank you for your question and congratulations on a successful surgery. Every surgeon has slightly different postoperative instructions, so of course you need to always check with him or her. But after 9 weeks it should be ok that you sleep without the bra, at least for one night. Best wishes, Kind regards, Franziska Huettner

Yes you can sleep without a bra at this point , I would recommend to stop wearing underwire bras.Follow up with your PS to discuss your concerns.

Dear jjennjenn,Thank you for your question. So long as everything is healing fine if you were my patient I would say that sleeping without a bra on at 9 weeks is acceptable.  However, each surgeon has their own personal preferences. I suggest following up with your operating surgeon for his specific recommendation as he is the most familiar with your case. Best of luck to you! 

Dear jjennjenn0,Every surgeon has a preferred type of bra that they let their patients wear after breast lift, as this would depend on various factors like the type of surgery performed and the size of the implant used. You should discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and follow his or her advice. Daniel Barrett, MD

Hi!  Plastic surgeons may have different protocols regarding wearing a supportive bra after surgery. In our practice we provide our patients with a surgical bra to wear for 4 weeks after surgery. At this point, 9 weeks after breast lift and with an unremarkable postoperative course,  you should be fine to sleep without a bra but ask your surgeon.  I hope this helps and best wishes.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for your question and provided information.
At 9 weeks, it should be OK to sleep without the supportive bra. If you have any concerns,I suggest you to follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Hello and thank you for your question .  After 3 weeks I allow my patient's to just wear the compression bra during the day from week 4-6 .  You are well past the point as far as what I advise but you may want to confirm with your PS.

Yes usually at 6-8 weeks most surgeons I know, including myself, don't require you to wear a bra especially if all your incisions are healed well.
