Your surgical bra should be snug but not tight and certainly not painful! Please call your plastic surgeon ASAP to confirm my advice, however I would remove the bra if it is causing you such extreme discomfort.
What kind of bra should I wear after breast surgery?
After your breast surgery, we recommend using a strong supportive cotton front closure bra without an underwire. This is recommended after breast augmentation, breast reduction surgery, breast revision, and breast lift surgeries.
Can I wear a padded sports bra after breast augmentation?
Answer: Bra restrictions
Padding is ok, as long as there is no underwire rubbing in the incisions. I recommend discussing specific post op instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
When will my implants drop and soften?
Generally speaking, implants begin to drop and fluff after a few days, approach their final position after six weeks, and settle entirely after three months.
