Compression wrap after implant removal?

The #compression #bra acts as a “dressing,” holding the breasts in position. If the bra feels too tight or hurts, switch immediately to sports type bra that feels comfortable. You should wear the bra at all times for at least three weeks. You will probably be more comfortable if you do not wear an underwire bra but you should always wear support.  It is always recommended to call and see your surgeon to discuss your concerns as each has their own post-op suggestions based on each patient's individual situation.

Compression after implant removal is important to help reduce risk of seroma formation and to support the tissue as it heals. Each patient situation is unique, but compression is often recommended for at least two weeks after surgery.

We recommend a very compressive bra after explantation such as the DrLinderbra which will reduce incidence of seroma. We also use drains for up to a week 

I would ask your PS your question and take his/her advice. Your PS will be using the wrap to prevent haematoma / seroma but it needs to be comfortable for you.

how long to wear a compression wrap depends on a few things with your surgery. Sometimes, a surgeon will use a compressive wrap right after surgery to prevent hematoma, but this would only be good for a max of 48 hours. Thereafter, a compressive wrap is to try to prevent a seroma and in my experience, this is totally useless, especially if nothing is done with the capsule. Best way to avoid a seroma is to either leave a drain, or roughen up the capsule somewhat so that the slick surfaces will heal down together.
