Can you wear a bra after shoulder joint replacement surgery?

   ChatGPT is a interactive language model developed by OpenAI, that uses a deep learning framework to understand queries and to generate coherent, contextually relevant responses based on a set of books, websites, and texts selected by researchers at OpenAI. While search engines such as Google provide links to websites that may or may not be accurate or relevant, ChatGPT provides a readable synthesis of the information from its comprehensive sources,

We sought ChatGPT responses to questions frequently posed by patients with shoulder arthritis.  These responses cannot used as specific medical advice. Patients should consult medical professionals for the most current and accurate information on their shoulder condition.


We asked "Can you wear a bra after shoulder joint replacement surgery?

ChatGPT replied: 

"I'm not a doctor, but I can offer some general information. Whether or not you can wear a bra after shoulder surgery depends on the specific type of surgery you had, as well as the recommendations of your surgeon or healthcare provider. In some cases, wearing a bra with shoulder straps immediately after surgery may put too much pressure or strain on the healing shoulder, potentially interfering with the recovery process.

If you recently underwent shoulder surgery or are planning to have surgery, it's important to consult with your surgeon or healthcare provider for personalized advice. They can provide specific instructions based on your individual situation and the type of surgery performed. They may recommend alternative options, such as a post-surgical bra or special garments designed to support the shoulder while avoiding strain on the surgical site."
