I bought a Leonisa posture bra to wear post-op, but I also want to wear my padded front closure sports bras as well. Do I need to remove the padding, or is it okay to leave in? The nurse told me I needed something a little tighter that pushed my breasts together slightly & the surgical bra they initially provided for me didn’t have enough compression to do so. I’m also currently wearing a band 24/7.

Answer: Post Op Bras to Wear Hi laylalove426, I understand your concern. However, every surgeon has a specific technique or management on how to go about wearing post-operative bras, as this would depend on various factors including the type of surgery, the size of implant, and the technique used during the surgery among others. It is best that you discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and follow his or her advice on the best options available for you. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery When discussing the recovery after a breast augmentation with my patients we specifically cover the importance of the surgical bra. It must be worn at all times for 2-3 weeks. Underwire should be avoided for one month. They understand how this can improve their results.
