Yes, a wireless sports or compression bra is the best type of bra to wear after breast augmentation surgery. Wired bras can irritate incisions and prevent them from healing, which can prolong your recovery and make the experience more painful than it needs to be.
How tight should your sports bra be after breast augmentation?
Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery
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.
Can you 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.
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.
