What type of bathingsuit is preferred post breast augmentation surgery?

Question

I know the post surgery bra is not supposto have underwire and it should zip in the front. What about for a bathing suit? I was told to get an underwire bathing suit if i were to use one during the first few months post surgery and then after depends on my preference. Is that true because it is contradicting.

Hello,I recommend that you ask your Plastic Surgeon to advise you on this as each has their own preferred post op protocols. In my practice I advise no underwire at all for a minimum of 8 weeks post op.All the best

I prefer that my patients stay away from under wire bras for 6 months after surgery, that includes bathing suit bras. Choose a bathing suit to show off the new you!

Mel T. Ortega, MD · Answer

A professionally manufacture post surgical bra. Avoid underwire bras for three months. Thank you for your question.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It is best to avoid underwire bras/bathing suites during the early post-op period espeically if an inframammary incision was used.

Elliot Duboys, MD, FACS (retired) · Answer

You didn't mention how long after your surgery.  Personally when I do a breast reduction, I use a regular bra without underwire that can fasten in the back.  Don't know why people ask to have the bra fasten in the front - personally I see that this type of bra might, because of the clasp put additional pressure between the breasts where you want to have cleavage.  If a woman can't fasten their bra in the back, you can always fasten it in the front and spin it around!If you are less than 6 weeks post-op, make sure you get a bathing suit with a built in bra that has support.  After 6 weeks, in my practice, you're free to wear whatever you want. Best to ask your plastic surgeon to get his/her blessings!Good luck and I'm sure you're going to look great in the summer.
