Patients undergoing a breast augmentation in London will naturally be very curious about various aspects of the procedure. Of course, the issue everyone cares about is how it will all look when the procedure is done and everything has settled down afterwards, but a welter of supplementary questions will also be asked.
These may include whether it hurts, how long the op takes, how much time off is needed to recover, scarring and any potential side-effects.
A particularly common question about the process is how long it is before supportive post-op measures can be discontinued, such as being able to go braless because such buttressing is no longer essential.
The first thing to note is that you will need a specialised bra for your post-op phase, providing extra support. Some plastic surgery providers offer these themselves, but there are many options out there. The key features to consider are comfort and firmness, which needs to provide gentle compression while holding everything in place.
If there are no unexpected complications after your operation, the normal full recovery time will be six to eight weeks. From this time on you will be able to act normally with regard to your breasts. This means there will be no problem with you going braless at home, or even – if you are overseas and in a location where it is permitted – on the beach.
The key issue, therefore, is whether you do have any difficulties after your operation. This is where the bra alone will not be the key issue, important though that is. Instead, it needs to be picked up in the aftercare process and addressed.
Provided any problem can be corrected fairly quickly, the process of recovery can get back on track. In such circumstances you may have to wait a little longer before you can go braless, but it will still feel great when you can.
