How long do you have to wear a sports bra for and is it realllllllly important?

Hiiii,

I was just wondering if they are really strict about wearing the bras cos im hoping to get mine done ASAP and my sister is getting married in June and im a bridemaid and i really dont think a sports bra would look all that flattering with a one shoulder dress lool.

Is it a must or could i have a day off from the ugly thing?

they usually say 6 weeks post op – i’ll defo be leavin mine on – dnt wanna take any risks… but if your gettin it done in the next month or so u should be fine for your sister’s wedding…

i went for my 1st consultation in beginning of feb and im in next week, so if you want it done asap they should be able to fit you in if u can be flexible

Hey my surgeon Dr Adamo says you dont need a sports bra at all!!! I bought one anyway, just in case, difficult to guess size though!

I’ve heard that Mr Adamo specifically doesn’t insist that his clients wear a sports bra but most other surgeons do – however I have heard that properly supporting the new breast will help prevent something called ‘bottoming out’, which is when the weight of the implant isn’t supported properly by the tissue / muscle around it, and it starts to travel downwards beneath your actual breast.. which can result in a particularly unpleasant shape.

I’m sure for just one day you will be fine however I would recommend doing as much as you can to support your new boobies!

Hi fifi,

Im having mine done on 10th April and Im bridesmaid for my sis in June so Im hoping the same as you.. It will be 8 weeks for me so I should be ok??

My consultation was 8th Feb but the turnaround can be 2 weeks!! x

fifix, it depends, there is no way i could have spent the day in a wired bra ot no bra at 4 weeks but by 6 weeks I had healed enough that I can.

Summer I woulod think you’d be fine at 8 weeks but it does depend on your body and healing, some girls are still dropping at 8 weeks so aren’t able to wear wired bras yet.

Hey hun. I’m 4 weeks post op and I have a break fromthe sports bra for a few hours a day. The nurse said 24/7 for 6 weeks, but in the instructions I got after my BA from Mr. Kazazzi the sheet said that after 2 weeks you can take your bra off for several hours but you must wear it to sleep. I wear it all day while I’m out and all night in bed, just when I’m watching telly in the evening I take it off. Hope this helps x x

I’m 4 weeks post op and I do the same as fawnlockard… Bra free tine in evening while watching tv…

I had unders with Mr Traynor and hes told me not to wear a sports bra at all!!! and just go free for 6 weeks. I just depends on what type of implant u get and how big it is. x

I asked my surgeon how important this is yesterday – he said it’s mainly for comfort and it’s not essential to wear it 24/7. xx

Thanks ros x
