Can I wear a sticky bra after breast augmentation?

Hello, thank you for your question. You should be able to wear breast tapes and sticky bras about 6 weeks post operatively, however you should remember that these types of undergarments do not provide much support. Implants make for a heavier breast and require a nice supportive bra. Over time in several years gravity slowly pulls down on your breasts and can create droopy breast and loose skin. A nice support bra would be the best way to slow down this process. its not a guarantee since its normal for breasts to drop over time.

thank you

At some point you will be able to wear any bra, sticky bras, and bra tape, but the timing will vary based on how you're progressing through recovery. You will want to ensure that the incisions are completely healed before using a sticky bra or bra tape over them. Check with your surgeon for specific guidance.

Hi 5a5ha123,
Your body naturally forms a layer of scar tissue (the capsule) around an implant, and this serves to hold the implant in place. I am assuming you are several months from surgery, as your surgeon has cleared you to wear any bra. If this assumption is correct, then minor tugs and pulls on the skin should not impact your implant position, as the implant will be held in place by the deeper capsule layer.
Hope this helps!
