Dear Dr's, I'm having my breast implants removed this summer, with no replacement. I see, from this site, that some ladies have been advised to wear a compression garment, others a sports bra, and others neither. I was wondering which is best to wear? Does it depend on the individual and our own surgeon? And if possible, could you tell me why compression is important for healing? Thank you. My implants are the dreaded pips, 290cc, sub-muscular, taking me from an A to a C/D. Had them for 6 years.
Three days post implant removal. I removed under local and havent taken any pain meds. Day 2 I removed bandage and put on sports bra but noticed pink rash (super itchy) went to urgent care and they said contact dermatitis from bra or surgery prep solution. Taken Benadryl but no real improvement. Any ideas ?
Hello, I am one week postop for breast implant removal. I forgot to ask my surgeon if I should massage the scars and also how long I should wait before wearing an underwire bra? He said I could wear a normal bra instead of my sports bra but I forgot to ask about underwire bras.
I am 2 weeks post-explantation and am wondering when I can wear an underwire bra. I am currently wearing a compression garment (to prevent seroma) at night and sports bra during the day. When can I stop wearing the compression garment and start wearing normal bras? Is the concern that the underwire will rub on the scars (which is covered by tape) and hence worsten the scarring?
How do I get Ohip (I live in Toronto) to cover my explant? Ive had my BA for 8 years now but they are causing lots of pain/tenderness and they arent fda approved in North America (I had them done in Brazil) ..Left implant is always super sore and tender cant even wear a bra without it starting to hurt Thanks !
I'm worried about going back to work completely flat as a pancake because in have to wear a really tight ace bandage like bra or wrap. Can you help me understand the after care. When I would be able to wear a normal wireless padded bra post surgery? Thanks.
