Is wearing a tight bra at night advisable after breast augmentation? Might it prevent rippling in the cleavage area from exacerbating in the future? Is a sports bra a good option? Thank you.

Answer: Rippling vs night time bra. Is wearing a tight bra at night advisable after breast augmentation? The type of bra you wear has nothing to do with implants rippling. One of the long-term influences on breast augmentation outcome is gravity. As a result, I recommend patients wear a supportive bra during their recovery, and as much as possible after fully healed. Best of luck

Answer: Rippling vs night time bra. Is wearing a tight bra at night advisable after breast augmentation? Thank you for your question. One of the greatest long-term influences on breast augmentation outcome is gravity. As a result, I recommend patients wear a supportive bra during their recovery, and as much as possible after fully healed. Appropriately sized bras provide support for the breasts and implants, taking stress off the breast skin, while minimizing the risk of implant displacement, where the implant has a tendency of moving lower and away from the body. Hope this helps!

Answer: Realself Question: Rippling vs night time bra. Is wearing a tight bra at night advisable after breast augmentation? Thank you for your question.The gravitational pull on the breast implants tend to try and bring the breast implants down when standing and toward the outside when laying on your back. The combination tends to pull the breast implants down and out. To help minimize these negative effects that gravity has on the breast implants, I advise all my patient to wear a bra as much as possible and even at night. The bra doesn't need to have an underwire but the underwire tends to help keep the breast implants more secure by adding additional pressure to the skin around the breast implants. In addition, I advise all my patients to wear an underwire sports bra when exercising. Traditional sports bras tend to smash the breast implants against the chest where the underwire sports bras tend to cup and support the breast implants.I hope this helps. Best wishes!William J.
