Can i take my surgical bra off for a few hours?

Answered on 23rd May '24

surgical bra can be removed for few hours while taking showers. But it is advisable to keep it on as much as possible as it helps in providing shape and fullness to the breasts.

  • First 2 weeks: You have to wear a surgical bra, which can be removed only during showers.
  • After 2 to 3 weeks: You will be free to wear either a non-wire supportive bra, or a sports bra all the time.
  • After 4 weeks: You would be able to skip wearing bras at night.
  • After 6 weeks: You can avoid wearing bra occasionally, but for major duration you would still have to wear a bra.
  • After 3 months: You can return to wearing underwire bras, but pay attention to the site of the incision.
  • Note:
    • For the first 3 weeks after surgery, It is recommended that you wear your bra for approximately 23 hours per day -- and you would still have to wear bras after this phase ends, but for a lesser duration.
    • It will take minimum of 2 months for the implants to settle into their final size and form, but they would still need care & attention!
  • Why is wearing bra important?
    • To avoid implant displacement.

It is not advisable to take off your surgical bra for a few hours. The surgical bra provides support and compression to the surgical area, which aids in the healing process. Removing it for an extended period may cause discomfort and delay the healing process.

Answered on 23rd May '24

Yes, it is usually possible to take off your surgical bra for several hours inasmuch as you heal well and 8 weeks after a hysterectomy. It’s frequently suggested to wear the bra less and less amount of time until your body get used to it. However, each patient’s recovery and needs may vary so you should follow what your surgeon specifically recommends. The bra gives support and contributes to swelling relief as well as shape modification in healing, so it should not be completely thrown away too early. Consult with your healthcare provider either for an extended period of removal or if you are experiencing discomfort.

How to sleep after tummy tuck and bbl?

Male | 44

Sleep on your back after a tummy tuck and BBL with pillows for easier comfort. Do not sleep on the stomach to avoid stretching treated areas. Elevate your whole upper body to decrease the swelling using a wedge pillow or other adjustments. Adhere to the individual sleep recommendations given by your surgeon for a thorough and secure recovery. Pay attention to your body’s signs and contact with a surgeon when needed.

Tip of nose still swollen 1 year after rhinoplasty, what to do?

Female | 28

Experiencing some residual swelling at the tip of the nose one year after rhinoplasty can be normal in certain cases. While the majority of swelling typically subsides within the first few months following the procedure, it's not uncommon for minor swelling to persist, particularly in the tip area, for a longer period of time.

Several factors can contribute to the persistence of swelling at the tip of the nose after one year such as Skin thickness, Surgical technique used, etc. If you're experiencing persistent swelling at the tip of your nose one year after rhinoplasty, it's recommended to consult with your surgeon for an evaluation. They will be able to assess your condition, determine the cause of the swelling, and provide appropriate guidance. In the meantime, here are a few things you can consider:

  1. Follow-up appointment: Schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and have a thorough examination. They will be able to determine if the swelling is a normal part of the healing process or if it requires further intervention.
  2. Be patient: Swelling after rhinoplasty can take a significant amount of time to completely resolve. It's not uncommon for residual swelling to persist for up to a year or even longer in some cases. Allow your body ample time to heal, as the final results of rhinoplasty can take several months to become fully apparent.
  3. Avoid trauma: Take care to protect your nose from any trauma or injury during the healing process. Even minor accidents can cause additional swelling or affect the final outcome of your rhinoplasty.
  4. Follow post-operative instructions: Ensure that you are following all post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon. This may include specific care for managing swelling, such as avoiding strenuous activities, refraining from excessive sun exposure, and avoiding certain medications that can increase swelling.
  5. Massage: Your surgeon may recommend gentle massage techniques to help reduce swelling at the tip of the nose. However, it's crucial to follow their specific instructions, as improper techniques or excessive force can have adverse effects.
  6. Consider corticosteroid injections: In some cases, your surgeon may recommend corticosteroid injections to help reduce persistent swelling. These injections can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Remember, the advice provided here is general, and it's important to consult with your surgeon for personalized guidance based on your unique situation.

I had a breast reduction and double liposuction 8 days ago. if I smoke weed today will that mess with my healing badly? I still have sutures in and like partially opens insisions you know

Female | 19

It's important not to smoke weed after a breast reduction and liposuction. Healing can be affected by this which may cause a slow healing process or more risks for infection. Oxygen flow will decrease when you smoke marijuana preventing proper tissue healing in turn leads to your body not getting enough oxygen that it needs for proper healing process.

Can cartilage move after rhinoplasty?

Male | 44

While the cartilage itself does not move, its position may be adjusted during the surgical procedure. The term 'cartilage moving' might more accurately refer to the settling or adaptation of the reshaped cartilage to its new configuration. The healing process involves tissue stabilization.

Greetings sir my daughter is four years old she was some what black with your suggestion I want her for skin whitening treatment which one is permanent for her chemical peel or Laser treatment please suggest me sir

Female | 4

Neither of these treatments is recommended for children under the age of 18. Chemical peels and laser treatments are not permanent skin whitening treatments. These treatments can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, but they will not permanently lighten the skin.
