How soon can you wear a bra after minimally invasive breast surgery

After minimally invasive breast surgery, if the opening has recovered and there is no discomfort in the breast, you can wear a bra after 3 days. If the opening has not recovered and there is still discomfort in the breast, it is not recommended to wear a bra. This is to avoid squeezing the mammary gland, which is not conducive to the recovery of the condition. Minimally invasive breast surgery itself is not a restriction on wearing a bra. However, as the breast has just finished the surgery, there may be localized swelling, pain or a large surgical opening that has not yet recovered. Wearing a bra too early may squeeze the breast gland, leading to lack of blood circulation and causing pain and other uncomfortable symptoms, which is not conducive to the recovery of the breast gland and the recovery of the surgical wound. If the recovery after minimally invasive breast surgery is good, the patient can wear a bra 3 days after the surgery. However, if there is breast pain, chest tightness and poor blood circulation after wearing, it is suggested that the wearing time can be postponed. The decision depends on the patient’s recovery.
