I am 4 weeks post breast aug and although the swelling has gone down my implants havent shifted down at all! I had 475cc round hp silicon placed below the muscle via mammary fold. My surgeon doest use bands and said we would discuss massage at my 7.5 week appointment. Is it too late for a band to be effective and should I start massage right away? Im scared ill need revision :( please help!
