Not too late for a breast band at three weeks

It is not too late for effects from a breast band to take hold, however your photos show breast asymmetry which the band might be unlikely to fix. Have your surgeon take a look.

Bra strap after breast augmentation

It is not too late to wear the strap and it will help the implants settle. You need to find from you plastic surgeon how long he wants you use it and what other instructions you need to have such breast massage information.

Bra strap use after 3 weeks

It wold be nice to have seen your breasts before surgery. They may be different because of asymmetry. You shoudl ask your surgeon if he wants you to use the bra strap.

Breast Augmentation and use of Bra Strap?

Thank you for the question and pictures. No, it is not too late for the breast implants to be affected by the use of bra strap and/or massage. I would suggest that you continue to follow your plastic surgeon's instructions. Best wishes.

Breast asymmetry after surgery

It looks like your left nipple is lower than your right and your right breast fold Is lower than your left. The breast band only creates the illusion of symmetry and will probably not improve without a surgical procedure to lift the left nipple (mastopexy), and lower the left brast fold... It also looks like your left breast is smaller than the right and you may need a larger implant on this side. Discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon..
