After having your breast augmentation surgery, you have a whole new look on your chest and the right bra can only serve to accent those beautiful new features. However, aside from increased confidence after the surgery, you will likely have a bit of soreness and swelling as well. This is why it is best to save all those sexy bras you may have been storing away until after the healing process is done.
Immediately post-op
Immediately after surgery, the only bra you need to worry about wearing is the post-op bra that will be given to you by your plastic surgeon. This bra and the support strap are specifically designed for breast augmentations to create the most comfortable possible fit and to minimize the swelling from the surgery. It will also work to keep the implants in place and allow the breasts to heal better. That being said, you still need to keep an eye on the skin to make sure no rashes or any inflammation occur.
Wear sports bras
While the post-op bra only needs to be worn for the first week or so after surgery, for at least the next two months after surgery, you will want to prioritize sports bras over underwire. As the swelling goes down and the breasts heal, you can get away with the occasional night of underwire, but it can cause complications in healing if worn as soon as you take off that post-op bra. Sports bras, on the other hand, will continue to help the healing process go smoothly and will provide optimum comfort for your new bust.
Back to normal
After the healing process is complete and the incisions have healed smoothly, you can return to wearing underwire or push-up bras if you so choose. However, it is important to remember that your bust size has changed, and you will need to be re-measured for a properly fitting bra by a professional. A poorly fitting bra is the bane of any bust and won’t do your new breasts any justice. However, it is important to wait until the swelling has completely subsided before getting measurements done.
