Did you wear a bra after breast augmentation?

Iris · 01-27-2010, 09:40 AM

I wore the bra my PS gave me for about two weeks and then wireless bras. At his suggestion I went braless at around one month and I really feel that contributed to my bottoming out. If I could do it over I would not have gone braless!

My surgeon has told me the same...he basically says that there is no point in getting a breast augmentation if you have to rearrange your entire life...

BTW...I can see you work out. I do as well and am possibly thinking about trying to compete. I have some chest questions for working out with implants. Do you mind if I ask you some quesitons ?

I voted Sports Bra, but it was the Sports Bra my PS gave me. I voted Sports Bra though because you can buy them from K-Mart...

I had to wear it for two weeks straight (only remove during shower) it was pretty comfy though and I wore it for about three weeks.

my ps said no bras at all are best and to wait 4-6 weeks to buy an expensive bra. So, i didn't wear nething til like 10 days post op unless i was going out then i wore a sports bra. Now, i still only wear sports bras b/c they feel most comfortable and plus i am trying to unfortunatly hide my new boobs from most ppl...only a few know so...but i might as well give it up b/c come summer i'm out of luck haha

My PS said I could wear the surgical bra if I wanted or a sports bra. I was cleared for underwire at 6 weeks post op

i was told surgical bra or tight sports bra during the day for the first 3 weeks to help create cleavage.. at night i could go braless or in a cami with the shelf bras in them. after that i could wear whatever, even wireless.

I wasn't given anything besides the strap and he hasn't yet mentioned anything about bras so I assume he won't want me to try wearing anything yet

I wore the fairly tight sports bra my ps gave me. I'm now wearing 'the strap of misery' to get them to drop more. He says if I can't wear the strap to wear nothing or a very loose bra. Now I'm wondering if I hadn't worn the tight sports bra, if maybe I would have dropped more quickly. Second guessing does no good and I guess we're all different. I think they are looking better now after a week and a half in the strap.

my p.s. told me to go braless as much as posisble to give them a chance to drop. i had a correction in my left breast (tuberous breast) and she wanted the impant to drop into the revised area (i can't remember what she called it). at 4 weeks, she told me to wear any kind of bra i wanted. vigorous cardio (i.e. running) requires a TIGHT athletic bra, normal cardio (i.e. step mill) normal athletic bra. i bought new bras last week both have underwire. i go without a bra as much as possible still -- usually at home only.

So what did you wear?

I was sent home from surgery in nothing but a strap pushing down on the girls that I wore for 1 week, and was told not to wear ANY type of bra for a few months. He even said not to wear tank tops with the built in shelf bra's. Im 2 months out, and I will wear a nice push up bra on Friday or Saturday nights if we go out, but that's it. I want these babies to drop! Oh I guess I should add that I do wear a very tight sports bra when exercising (jogging and elliptical).

After my breast augmentation, I wore the compression bra given to me by my PS...it also has a strap attached to it. I was also told I could wear a sports bra with a strap given to me by my PS.
