If I have only one implant that I'm trying to help drop still, will wearing the band across both breasts impact the placement of the other side that's already in perfect place? I'm worried about that one then dropping like too low? I've tried to wear the strap in the figure 8 way just over the one breast but that's not the most comfortable and I also don't know if it's as effective as straight across the top. OP 7/22, revision 4/23. Dropped & came back up.
Answer: Implant position It is difficult to say without seeing photos, but hearing your description of having surgery and requiring revision with recurrent "elevation" of the implant sounds like capsular contracture. If you have clinically significant capsular contracture (or even just a malpositioned implant), using a compression strap is not likely to affect the implant placement. Photos would be needed to confirm this, however the best way to have it evaluated is to have a well trained plastic surgeon assess you in person. Based on exam, they should be able to help come up with a solution to your problem-providing recommendations for best next step.

Answer: Breasts Your compression strap should be ok to use on both breasts, but may no longer be very effective. Go back to your surgeon and discuss taking oral Accolate and trying external ultrasound treatments to drop the higher implant.
