Wearing a Compression Band for 6 Months After Breast Augmentation?

August 7, 2010
Asked By:Tati_ana in Saratoga Springs, NY

After surgery the doctor told me to wear something like compression band above my breast constantly for no less than 6 month… Isn’t it too long period? They didn’t tell me to wear surgical bra, just strap around me. Is it right? Don’t I have to wear something to support the breasts? ( I have 275cc smooth moderate plus silicone)
