No. Absolutely not. The only time you would need to stop wearing a bra is if after a masectomy or the like you experienced discomfort and the bra was irritating.... but after, most women choose to have implants put in. Go ask any girl with breast implants,.. most of them wear a bra =) .

No, why would they? I went braless for about three days after my mastectomy, until I had a temporary prosthetic breast. Since then (6 years) I have worn a bra and a prosthesis every day A majority of breast cancer patients don't, in fact, opt for reconstruction and implants. Reconstruction is major surgery, more so than an mastectomy and with a longer recovery period. ======= Edit: Wearing a bra, however tight, does NOT lead to breast cancer. Breast cancer, like other cancers, happens when normal cells change so that they grow in an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form. Your underwear cannot trigger this process.

No. Why would we? If a person had a bilateral mastectomy and chose not to have a reconstruction or prosthesis they might choose to go bra less. I went bra less at times during my radiation treatment due to skin break down and irritation.

. A doctor who did research says yes, a tight bra does indeed increase the chances of getting cancer by quite a bit. The percentage was great enough to warrant caution in the use of a tight bra or wearing a bra at night at all. Once you get cancer surgery if you get your boobs cut off you won't need to worry and can wear a padded bra that looks like you have boobs. If you want toprevent cancer you should definitely loosen your bra, the article by the researcher claimed. I would follow that if you had breast cancer it would be best not to constrict your breasts too. Although the article in this science magazine recommended not wearing a bra at all it said that big busted women should wear loser bras and unsnap them at night so it is very loose. As I too am attempting to avoid breast cancer, I also eat a diet high a little lower in animal fat than before. I have tried replacing butter with coconut oil in baking recipes and was delighted at the great taste it provides while it also lessons the chance of getting cancer. If you have smaller breasts that won't be injured when you jump up and down it would be healthier not to wear a bra at all but for those with breasts whose tissue could be injured are better off wearing a bra in the day time but one that does not tightly constrict. Under-wires are not dangerous unless they are tight and rub against you causing injury to tissue that could heal wrong in the presence of carcinogens and turn to cancer.

Breast cancer itself does not alter the need or the desirability of wearing a bra. The treatments may. If you have lumpectomy, it is recommended that you wear a bra 24/7 while your breast tissue heals. If you have a mastectomy, you may find that a bra rubs your wound or is uncomfortable while healing. If you wear a prosthesis, normally a bra is worn to hold it in place. If you have a reconstruction, as with a lumpectomy a bra is normally recommended to support the tissue while healing. If you have radiation treatment, the skin breakdown can make wearing a bra uncomfortable during the course of treatment.

depends on women for example if a women is going threw radiation often it is too painful to wear a bra, even if they are big breasted, for example a women who has a partial mastecomy half breast taken off then chemo, radiation, and total axilla dissection which means cancer has spread to lymphnodes so they take all of them out. this often leads to a very painful uncurable condition called lymphdema so if a women doesn't get immediate help for this swelling and fluid back up it will be hard for them to wear any bra cause they swell daily and the bra becomes extremely tight and painful summary some women do some don't. Depending on your size as well most often this applies to C, DD. E cup
