Underwire Bra After Breast Implant Explantation

October 27, 2010
Asked By:Anon T in Australia

I am 2 weeks post-explantation and am wondering when I can wear an underwire bra. I am currently wearing a compression garment (to prevent seroma) at night and sports bra during the day. When can I stop wearing the compression garment and start wearing normal bras? Is the concern that the underwire will rub on the scars (which is covered by tape) and hence worsten the scarring?
