Ace bandage wrapped below breast! Is this normal?

February 3, 2015
Asked By:SGPink in Carnegie, PA

I just had a second breast augmentation. I went from 300cc to 550cc and also an internal bra lift -- capsullarphy. For recovery - I am in a surgical bra (luckily no fluid drain) and wrapped in an annoying, itchy, ace bandage. The bandage is wrapped underneath. Literally looks like it serves no purpose. Perhaps holding the implant upward / covering incision !? But doesn't seem like it. I see the dr for follow up in 2 days. Maybe I'm wrapped wrong & don't even know it.
