Question 1

do i have to wear bras if i have gotten breast implants?

Accepted Answer

No: Although depending on your surgeon's preferences, you may be asked to wear a specifice type of bra during your early post-op period. I encourage my patients to go braless, very early on as it helps the implants settle into a natural position and it also helps in the necessary "bonding" with your new implants. The sooner you stop babying them, the sooner you will feel comfortable with them. Be well.

Question 2

what's the best sports bra for a woman with breast implants?

Accepted Answer

No perfect bra: Many of my patients prefer the warner's line of bras but when it comes to exercise, many indicate a preference for the t "moving comfort" line. There is no perfect bra and even thought the mystere no. 9 was designed for women with implants, my patients have not necessarily  preferred this product.

Question 9

can i get large breast implants if i am thin?

Accepted Answer

: Maybe/not. Your available skin that would covered it and underlying blood vessels must not be under the type of stress/tension that interferes with healthy blood flow. The implant could create major problems. You need to work with the breast surgeon to understand what is reasonable for your body type/frame.
