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

September 20, 2018
Asked By:jjennjenn in Spring, TX

I had a successful lift with no complications. I’ve been wearing a supportive bra of some type all day and sleeping in a sports bra at night. I’m feeling a little tenderness under my breast that seems to be coming from wearing an underwire bra. Can I give my body a break and sleep without a bra for a night? My incision is not red or swollen and I’m using Eucerin moisturizer and Biocorneum twice a day. Thanks for your answer.
