Depends: That really depends on what kind of surgery you had. Generally speaking healing takes 4-6 weeks. If you had a mastectomy you should be good to go by then. Radiation may change that answer. There are a lot of variables!

Ask your Surgeon: Typically, it is safe to wear a prosthesis within 1 to 2 weeks post surgery. However, you must consult your own surgeon since the nature of the operation may dictate when it would be safe to start using the prosthesis.
