Underwire Bra After Bottomed out Implant Revision?

March 21, 2009
Asked By:imadvice in New York

I have heard of using underwire bra after a bottomed out implant revision to help support the crease while scar tissues are forming. However, I have also heard that the underwire may cause wound healing problems. Another major concern I have with underwire bras is that it may affect the final shape of the breast once everything heals. I am having the revision done on one breast and do not want it to have a different shape from the other. What are your opinions on this? Any other methods that is better than using an underwire bra?
