My reduction was on the 18th and as most women know who have had this surgery the most exciting part is being able to finally go bra-less. I was wondering how soon after the surgery is this possible.
Answer: Post op bra Every doctor has different post op instructions so you should ask your surgeon what would work for you. The dressings vary from patient to patient. Some patients may be placed in a sports bra; others will wear a stabilizing elastic support strap. Your doctor will decide after surgery and in subsequent weeks, which dressing will suit your needs and how long you would need to wear them.

Answer: When Can I Stop Wearing a Bra After Breast Reduction? Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon. Every surgeon has their own specific post op protocol for their patients and your surgeon is the best resource when questions arise. They are most familiar with your medical history, details of your surgery, and how you are healing. In my office, my patients wear a loose fitting sports bra for the first six weeks after surgery. Congratulations on your recent surgery.

Answer: Not Wearing Bra after Breast Reduction Surgery?

Answer: Bra after reduction I recommend a bra for 4 weeks and it is always beneficial to wear one to support the breasts and put a little pressure on the scars. You may set yourself up for sagging without a bra unless it is just for limited times and clothing options. It is really wonderful to be able to wear clothes without a bra. If you have stretch marks on your breast, be careful as your skin is more likely to stretch. Best wishes.

Answer: When to stop wearing bra after breast reduction I say normally at least 6 weeks but a little longer if the patient feels it provides more support. The Brest tissues have been rearranged so additional support during the time that the healing process is occurring is going to help but also more comfortable.
