What style underwear to wear after breast augmentation with prosthesis?
Postoperative care:

1. After breast augmentation, breast swelling and slight congestion are normal phenomena, which will gradually subside in the next few weeks.

2. 24 hours after operation, you can take off your clothes except the adhesive tape stuck on the skin surface of the operation site. When scrubbing your body, be careful not to wet the tape. In the following days, let the tape fall off by itself.

3. If necessary after operation, it may be necessary to cover the surgical incision with gauze dressing for one week.

4. 24 hours after surgery, you can take a bath, but within 2 weeks after surgery, the surgical site must avoid contact with water, including bath water, swimming pool water, seawater and lake water.

5. Don't wear a bra with a steel bracket after operation, because the steel bracket will affect the position of the prosthesis. You can wear a soft but supportive postoperative bra recommended by your doctor, or wrap your chest with a wide elastic bandage. These can be removed in the shower, but you should continue to use them after the shower.

6. If there is a drainage tube after operation, pour out the liquid in time, record the amount of drainage three times a day, and then inform the doctor so that they can judge when the drainage tube can be pulled out for you.

7. When the postoperative recovery reaches a certain stage (usually 1~3 weeks after operation), the breast should be massaged under the guidance of a doctor to prevent capsular contracture, and the time of each massage should follow the doctor's plan.
