A couple of days: You will be swollen after surgery. So it might be advisable to wait and purchase new clothing for a couple of weeks to a month after your breast augmentation surgery. If you do wear a bathing suit make sure scars if visible are covered with sunscreen during the first month of healing.

It varies: It depends on the amount of swelling and pain you are experiencing. Most patients can feel comfortable in a week or two in their swim wear.

Soon!: You can wear a swimsuit once initially healing of the incisions are complete - after about 12-14 days. Don't tan, though - it will make your scars darker!
