How long do I have to keep a bandage wrap on after my breast augmentation?

Thank you for your question.  Although post-operative instructions do vary from one plastic surgeon to another, my advice is to wear a compression bra (or surgical wrap) for two full days following breast augmentation at which time I advise my patients to shower.  A soft sports bra or surgical bra should be worn for 3-4 weeks.  Best to follow the specific instructions given to you by your plastic surgeon.  Good luck.

Thank you for your question. Only your surgeon can answer this. Every surgeon has his or her own protocol. Some surgeons use a bandage wrap, some do not. Each surgeon has a technique and protocol that they feel works best for them, so you should follow those specific instructions.Good luck!

Dear timelessmarcia3,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD
