How long until you wore a bra?

stolz · 11-06-2009, 12:47 AM

Just wondering how long it was before everyone was able to wear a bra?

Did you wear a bra in the first month if you went out somewhere for a few hrs at all so you could wear what you wanted (eg strappy singlet)

How long was it until underwire bras were comfy to wear?

Full of questions today!

redheadthespian · 11-06-2009, 01:12 AM

i was allowed to begin wearing bras at 6 weeks. before that i was only allowed to wear camis with the built-in bras (no sports bras). but, every plastic surgeon is different, so you should do whatever your plastic surgeon recommends.

I was told, (and did so), to wear only sportsbras w/o seams or wires for the first month, then only non-wire bras for 2 more months. After 3 months I was cleared for underwires.

sweet_wench · 11-06-2009, 02:55 AM

I wore tight sports bra for the first 3 weeks, got ok to go braless for a day for halloween but was stuck to wireless and sports bra's till at least dec 1 when i go back, and as BAD as i want to go to bed right now with out a bra on,, im going to faithfully put that dang sports bra on..........

HispanicMom · 11-06-2009, 03:14 AM

This is such a good question! I was going to ask my plastic surgeon tomorrow at my appt. I have some clothes that I'm dying to wear but with a sports bra it just doesn't look right! So my wardrobe feels limited which sucks since I want to show off the girls. Of course Halloween I did cheat and go braless, but only for a couple of hours

sally77 · 11-06-2009, 04:18 AM

I am suppose to wear a surgical crop top for 6 weeks, day and night, and then wirefree Bras for 4 weeks and then at 10 weeks I can wear wires..I had a wedding to go to 10 days post op, and couldnt wear my surgical bra, and my surgeon said he thinks it would be safer to bra-free..so I did, felt a bit weird when I was dancing!
But in saying that, I wore wires at 6 weeks after my first BA, no problems at all...and now 5 weeks post op from re-do I am wearing wirefree during the day and croptop at night time.. it feels comfy, nothing is rubbing where the incisions are healing....so I dont see it being a problem!

jlp_brk02 · 11-06-2009, 05:02 PM

I began wearing a bra around 3 or 4 weeks, but only wireless... I wasnt allowed to wear underwire til about 6 weeks... And even then, since I got crease incision, I was very cautious... I didnt start regularly wearing a bra til about 2.5-3 months.. I just wanted to feel that my boobs were 'safe and comfortable' and could tolerate a bra for an extended period of time..

amermaidseyez · 11-06-2009, 05:06 PM

i had to wear a surgical bra 24/7 for the first 8 weeks or so...my surgeon advised no underwires for me until 6 months post-op, so i haven't worn any yet...good luck to you!

sarah_x · 11-06-2009, 07:15 PM

i wore a support/ sports bra for about 7 weeks and then got measured and started wearing underwire bras at about 8 weeks. i still wear my support bra for bed

klayco17 · 11-07-2009, 01:36 AM

Im still wearing my surgical bra LOL. I went braless on halloween, so hopefully that was OK...yikes! I bought one wireless bra, and only wear it sometimes. But im still mostly in my surgical bra.

Island_Girl · 11-07-2009, 02:11 AM

I only wore my surgical bra for a week then I was cleared to wear whatever kind of bra that I wanted to. Even underwire.

My plastic surgeon gave me the "OK" to wear a bra at my two week post op appt. I could even wear underwire since I had an aerola incision. He told me not to wear a bra (push up bra) that displaces the implant more than a couple of hours at a time!

stolz · 11-09-2009, 07:22 PM

Thanks to all who have answered.

wire-free bras.... are the only ones really available sports bras?

xraytech · 11-09-2009, 08:09 PM

I wore a bra home. My doctor gave me no restrictions except for saying not to wear a bra that lifted the breasts up, just give them some support if you have 400's or more. I have switched up between a regular bra and sports bras. I have been sleeping in sports bras.

77australia · 11-09-2009, 08:14 PM

My doc actually had me in a underwire as soon as my drains came out (Day 6) -- I actually posted about this a week or so ago because i was confused and it just seems all docs a different. A pattern that I found was that girls like me who started with no boobs were more likely to be in an underwire right away -- maybe we didn't have what we needed to hold the new girls or something... HTH

VisionQuest · 11-09-2009, 09:08 PM

I was told to wear a sports bra for 8 weeks 24/7

hollybearie · 11-10-2009, 11:54 AM

I haven't had mine done yet but my plastic surgeon said i am to be in a sports bra 24/7 for the first 6 weeks. Since i do have a few events coming up that require attire not fitting to have a sports bra under he said i could wear a wireless bra but to make sure it had good support. I found a few at target that are wireless bra's, almost like a sports bra, but are lower cut so you can wear cute tops with them.

saysay114 · 11-10-2009, 12:03 PM

I wore my strap for the first week then they told me to wear a wireless bra with my strap for three weeks which i did i wore a top with underwire for halloween i hope that was ok.. but i am not even sure when i can wear an underwire i think about 8 weeks or 6 thats when i think i will...

Babyshambles · 11-10-2009, 02:18 PM

I was told to wear a sports bra 24/7 for the first month and only at night after that. I'm 2 and a half months out and try to wear my sports bra the majority of them time (i find it way more comfy bc regular bras seem to make my boobs a little sore)
