Compression Bandage on Breasts after Removal of Breast Implants?

I'm sorry to hear about the complication you have experienced after removal of breast implants. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with specific instructions/guidance during your postoperative visits. Recommendations from surgeons who do not know you would be inappropriate. Best wishes.

This is a question that is best addressed by your plastic surgeon. It is important to adhere to his or her recommendations as you go through this process, as only your surgeon knows the details of your treatment and physical examination.
