How to re-bandage breasts after reduction?

December 25, 2014
Asked By:emh477 in San Antonio, TX

Hi! I just had my surgery about 48 hours ago and just took my bandages off as directed by my doctor. However, I am having trouble bandaging the area as well as the doctor did it. It feels slightly loose and I am worried that I did not bandage the area correctly. How do you recommend bandaging the area? Thanks so much.
