Can compression or sports bras help with skin retraction, etc. after saline implant deflation?

December 27, 2017
Asked By:cariou in Atlanta, GA

I recently had one implant deflated in-office after the other ruptured. I plan to have saline implant removal surgery within the next year. (I am choosing to wait to see how much my skin, connective tissue, and glands recover to make a more informed decision about whether to have mastopexy at the same time.) My surgeon gave me no instructions regarding what type of bra to wear. Since I must purchase new ones now, I want to make the best choice.
