I understand that wearing loose, button-down shirts is recommended after a breast augmentation. For how long should I adhere to this practice?
Most patients find it comfortable to wear loose-fitting shirts or sweatshirts for the first 4-5 days after breast augmentation. However, it is important to follow the specific advice provided by your plastic surgeon regarding the clothing you should wear after the procedure. Some surgeons may recommend wearing a surgical bra for the first few days, while others may advise against wearing a bra during this early stage. The key is to prioritize your comfort, and loose-fitting shirts are often the most comfortable choice during the first week or two following breast augmentation.
The healing process varies from patient to patient. After a breast augmentation, it is generally recommended to take it easy for approximately 2-3 weeks. I would suggest consulting with your board-certified plastic surgeon to determine when you can start wearing your normal clothes again. Thank you for your question, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
