6 weeks post BR is it safe to sleep without bra?

Hi. Every surgeon has different protocols but at I tell my patients that they can sleep without a bra after one month - you should check what your surgeon thinks is best. Regards Dr Charles Cope

Consult with your doctor, but I usually allow my Breast Lift patients to sleep without a bra after 4 weeks. So, you should be fine sleeping without a bra. Your photos look great! Best wishes.

Thank you for your question and photos.  In general, yes, it is ok to sleep without a bra. Your surgeon may have specific recommendations and it is always best to adhere to their recommendations.  Good luck.

Thank you for your question. What did your surgeon say?We recommend no sleeping without a bra for 4 weeks and no sleeping face down on your tummy for about 8 weeks.Check with your surgeon to be sure your are following his/her instructions.



I hope this helps.

.You should receive postoperativeInstructions from your own surgeon. In my practice patients would be permitted to sleep without a broad six weeks after the operation.

In my opinion, it is safe to sleep without a bra at your stage in recovery.  Ultimately, you should follow the advice of your surgeon.  Good result judging from the photos.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

You should be fine to sleep without your bra now. But every surgeon has their own preferences for their post op protocols. I personally do not think that sleeping without your bra will cause you any problems. 

Most patients can transition out of wearing a bra at night at this point.  However, it is best to check with your surgeon as he/she is most familiar with the details of your surgery and recovery.

at 6 weeks I tell my patients that it is OK to sleep without a bra.  Be sure to check with your surgeon to be sure.  Your result looks very nice.

Your surgeon will be able to direct you the best, however you should be fine at this time to stop wearing a bra at night.  I typically have patients wear the bra around the clock for 2 weeks, then only daily.  Congratulations!  Looking good.
