Recovery after surgery at the beach - how long will I need to wear a surgical bra?

Considerate706657Feb 7, 2026

I am getting a breast augmentation on March 30. I live in Turks and Caicos part of the year, how long will I need to wear a surgical bra for and when would I be able to wear a bathing suit again even just to sit on the beach if I am not going in to the ocean. As well as wearing clothes out to dinner, wilI i need to wear a surgical bra for multiple weeks? I also don’t want to rush recovery as I want them to settle nicely. I am more just curious. With moderate plus or high profile how long will they be sitting very high and swollen for approximately?

It is very difficult to give advice without a good examination. A second opinion seems like a good choice. There are certain options like smaller implants and removing some of the extra lower pole skin, but I certainly cannot recommend this without thorough examination. It seems that with a...

Certainly, it would be easy to have a breast augmentation and a removal of a wisdom tooth done at the same time. It would also be beneficial to you to only have one recovery from 2 operations. My only thought would be, it may be difficult to find a dentist who would come into the operating...

Hi! Judging by the photos I don't see the breast "falling off" the implant as in a waterfall deformity. Sometimes lateral photos are useful to see that, and definitely an in person consultation. Is one photo a selfie and the other not? Hard to see which side is which. You do have a natural...

Hi. You could achieve a very perky result with a breast lift. Autoaugmentation can be done with it to enhance the volume and roundness at the top. This is done with your own tissue so there would not be an increase in your size. If you want to be larger and more rounded, then a small implant...
