What kind of bra is best to buy after an explant
Answer: What kind of bra is best to buy after an explant? Because PSs differ in their post-operative protocols, I recommend that you follow those of the PS who performed your breast explant. Sports bras may be OK for the first 6 weeks or so. I do not recommend underwire bras during this phase of recovery.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Best bra after removing implants. I suggest that my patients use a tight, band-like sports bra after removing their implants to allow the skin to retract better. I have them wear it day and night. You need to follow the advice of your plastic surgeon regarding their personal preference since they are knowledgeable about your specific situation.

Answer: Post op bra This question is best answered by your plastic surgeon as he/she is most familiar with your planned procedure. Typically you will want something that is supportive with some compression, but not too restrictive. The compression helps to prevent fluid build up in the cavity once occupied by the implants.

Answer: : Compression bra after explant After explant alone, most women are dissatisfied because of the excess hanging skin and require a lift or fat transfer. A compressive bra may help the skin recoil but the result may not be satisfactory. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
