When can I wear a normal bra after a breast lift?

How long should I wear a support bra?

After a breast lift your support bra becomes your new best friend. You need to wear it around the clock for at least 4-6 weeks, and in some cases up to 3 months. It gives your breasts the support they need to heal properly, while also protecting them from the pressure that can arise when an ordinary bra is used. An ordinary bra also does not give enough support during the important recovery period.

Different styles

Understanding which types of bra to wear during your recovery can make a considerable difference to your comfort.

Wire-free bra

Choose a bra without underwiring to begin with. These give gentle support and avoid discomfort in sensitive areas during recovery.

Adjustable wide straps

Bras with adjustable straps are ideal because they can be adapted to accommodate changes in breast size caused by swelling, which ensures comfort.

Sports bra

A correctly fitted sports bra can be a suitable option during recovery, particularly when you are gradually reintroducing exercise.

Front fastening

Bras that fasten at the front are recommended during the initial recovery phase because they are easier to put on and take off without unnecessary strain.
