Wait Until You Are Healed to Purchase New Bras
In general, most women are able to wear bras 4-6 weeks after breast augmentation. That being said, Dr. Pozner recommends waiting approximately three months before spending a lot of money on new bras.
What should I wear after breast augmentation?
In most cases you’re going to want to wear clothes that are easy to take on and off. Loose fitting t-shirts or blouses and zip-up hoodies tend to work best. Due to the nature of how breast implants are inserted into the body, there will be some incisions made in the body tissue/muscle underneath the skin.
Should I wear a tight bra after breast augmentation?
You will be advised to wear a compressive bra for two to three weeks post-operatively following breast implant placement. It should be worn 24/7 and removed only while taking a shower. It accelerates the recovery of your breasts following surgery and helps keep the implant in the correct position.
