Can I wear a padded bra after breast augmentation?

In the short term after breast augmentation surgery, it is not recommended to wear padded bras. For patients who have just undergone breast augmentation, it is best to follow the specific advice of their doctor and wear a specialized post-operative bra. These bras are designed to provide enhanced support and comfort, helping to stabilize the implant position and reduce the risk of post-surgical complications.

During the later stages of the recovery period, if the physician determines that it is appropriate to begin trying other types of bras, it is still important to select bras of the correct size, avoiding those that are too large or too small, which could cause unnecessary pressure and discomfort. Additionally, during the post-operative recovery period, strenuous exercise and excessive movement of the upper limbs and shoulders should be avoided to prevent unnecessary impact and injury to the chest area.
