How long do you wear surgical bra after breast augmentation?
After breast augmentation surgery, you will typically have to wear a surgical bra for a certain period of time to aid in the healing process and provide support to the newly augmented breasts. The duration for wearing a surgical bra may vary depending on the surgeon's instructions and individual healing progress. However, here is a general guideline:
- Most surgeons recommend wearing a surgical bra for the first few weeks post-surgery to minimize swelling and provide support.
- Patients are usually advised to wear the surgical bra 24/7 during the initial phase of recovery.
- After the first few weeks, your surgeon may recommend transitioning to a soft, supportive sports bra for additional support as the healing process continues.
- It is important to follow your surgeon's instructions regarding the duration of wearing the surgical bra to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
