How long do you need to pressure wrap breast after implant removal with no lift? (photo)

Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

As each patient is different, this question is best answered by your surgeon. He/She is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.

Eric Schaffer, MD, FACS · Answer

A patient that has Breast Implants removed without a lift will usually be wrapped with cotton and Ace bandage pressure wraps for 5-7 days.  After being unwrapped, the incisions may need a little guaze coverage until completely healed.

Gary L. Ross, MBChB, FRCS · Answer

It is best to ask your PS as every PS will have different regimes and your PS will know what has been done. I personally only wrap for a week if needed.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I do not usually use a constricting band around the breasts after implant removal. You should ask your surgeon.

Robert Whitfield, MD · Answer

Really the first 24-72 hours are the most common times for bleeding that will require a re-operation for bleeding.
