My doctor told me not to wear any surgical bra. I'm going to have my breast implants surgery in 2 days and everybody I knew wore a surgical bra after surgery. However, my doctor to wear nothing but looseshirt for 3 weeks. Would you please tell me is that good or bad? Thank you very much.

Answer: Post-Surgery Bra I recommend a front-close sports bra since you may have some discomfort lifting your arms above your head, but individual surgeons have their own preferences for post-operative clothing. Neither recommendation is good or bad, but if you’re having a breast augmentation without a lift, a supportive bra can help with discomfort more than anything. I typically do not recommend compression bras.

Answer: Should I Wear Surgical Bra After Breast Augmentation? I recommend my patients o use surgical bra after breast augmentation. It helps implants to settle down and helps with swellings. The implants are placed under the muscle , i use a band in addition for the first 4 weeks to keep the implant in position and prevent it from riding high. The surgical bra should be worn all the time for first 6 weeks and lit of my patients sleep in sports bra even after that. Please discuss with your Consultant about any rationale for any different advice on surgical bras.

Answer: Soft cotton surgical bra with no zippers or clips Hello and thank you for this great question. I typically have my patients wear a soft cotton surgical bra with no zippers or clips for about 3 weeks following their surgery. The bra provides some degree of compression, but not too much and is also comfortable to wear post operatively. In my opinion, some form of support should be worn for the first several weeks following surgery to facilitate the healing process. Best of luck!
