How soon after surgery can you wear a bra? I only have sports bras now; just wondering how to get one on. Can you lift your arms over your head without too much pain from incisions?

I was lucky in that I was allowed a 3 week LOA from work, so I went without that entire time... getting used to wearing them again was actually sorta challenging. LOL I started using Genie Bras and I love them! They're comfy, work pretty well and as you shrink they sorta fit better than your standard bra or sports bra.

I didn't really have pain lifting my arms up, but I did have discomfort if I stretched to deeply, or twisted to much. Just be slow and careful. Its silly, but my doctor said, if it hurts don't do it. If it doesn't slowly proceed.

Thanks KZBen... I now have Bette Midler's voice in my head singing the "Otto Titsling" song... LOL!!!!

I had one on two days after surgery when I went shopping. No issues at all. No pain lifting the arms but the twisting and getting up from sleeping, a little sore but not bad!

You are welcome, funkeechiggen. I don't know that song, but I am sure it's about boobs.

Thank you, MoreganK. I have to try another Wal-Mart. Mine doesn't have Genie bras.

Genie bra's are good unless ur big chested then the straps always roll up

I wore bras immediately after surgery. Nobody told me that I couldn't. I didn't experience any discomfort. Fortunately, my bra didn't land on any of my incisions.

I put one on before my visitors came. It did hurt a little, but a lady my size can't go without.

Genie bras are the way to go, I have found them at Walgreen's as well. Mine does rest on my incision, but actually helps because it kind of holds pressure on it & feels good!

I could wear mine as soon as I got out of the.hospital. no problem.

I've bought a knock off brand of Genie bra at Target that are just as good too!

I only wore a sports bra. My under-wire bras were uncomfortable for a couple weeks. It didn't sit on an incision but it sort of added pressure. No problems lifting my arms at all.
