I'm not sure what group to put this in. So I thought I would just ask. I have my permanent implant surgery on May 6. I'm 58 will be 59 this year and I'm wondering if I would need to wear bras after, if so what type have you all found comfortable. I'm afraid I will feel the need for a bra after so many years of wearing one, you know. That your not dressed to go any where unless you have one on. Back to the raising I guess. Thanks in advance.
Apart from the generic answer above- yes, you will have to wear a bra at least for the first few years as the implants become a part of your body. Eventually, they do. Seven years ago we moved to Florida- and I have not worn one since. These girls aren’t going anywhere. Firmly adhered to my chest wall
I got my implants at age 61. After 6 months, my plastic surgeon said that I only needed a bra when I exercised (sports bra type) I buy a regular sports bra. Like you tough, I just feel better with something on the girls all the time. I buy something that the label calls a bralette. Cheap, light weight, and not much support, mostly just makes me feel dressed. I was a DD before double mastectomy and now a small C. The size of the implants may make a difference on what support is needed. For me, my shoulders feel so much better now. The divots from years of DD's are almost gone. LOL
After implant surgery, it's important to follow your surgical team's specific recommendations about bra wearing during the initial healing period. They may provide or recommend a special post-surgical support bra. Your health insurance, HSA, or FSA may help cover the cost of post-surgical bras if prescribed by your doctor Show Full Answer
