Underwire Bra After Breast Reduction.....How Long Should I Wait?
Answer: Bra after breast reduction
In general, it is best to ask these type of questions of your surgeon who knows you and your postoperative (healing) course best. Having said that, I think it is your best interests to wait as long as possible to use bras with wiring. The use of a soft bra may avoid irritation of the immature scars and prove the final appearance of the scars. In my practice, this time off underwire bra is usually one year postoperatively.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Post op bra Every doctor has different post op instructions so you should ask your surgeon what would work for you. The dressings vary from patient to patient. Some patients may be placed in a sports bra; others will wear a stabilizing elastic support strap. Your doctor will decide after surgery and in subsequent weeks, which dressing will suit your needs

Answer: Typically- 6-8 Weeks We generally avoid using underwire bras for six to eight weeks following breast reduction surgery.In the immediate post-operative period an underwire bra has the potential to irritate a fresh surgical incision.An inframammary incision would be directly beneath the underwire and this might irritate the incision.After six to eight weeks wound healing would no longer be an issue.In most breast reduction patients it’s reasonable to resume the use of an underwire bra at this time.

Answer: Under wire bra after breast reduction
I agree that it is best to ask your plastic surgeon on their preferences. I personally prefer my patients to wait 3-4 weeks, or untill the incisions are completely healed and an under wire can be worn comfortably.
Kindest regards,
