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)

Answer: Garments and straps and the like after breast augmentation In general I do not ask my patients to massage or wear special garments after three weeks post-op. That being said in a rare instance I do ask patients to massage one or both breasts/implants. That being said, I would respectfully suggest that after 3 months post-op any massage or manipulation of implants will have no effect upon the ultimate result. So, in short, 6 months post op, my personal belief would be that what you see is what you get. Best of luck.

Answer: Compression Garments after Breast Augmentation I typically recommend that my primary breast augmentation patients wear a light weight compression breast band and front closure sports bra for the first four weeks following their surgical procedure. I would recommend discussing your specific surgeons post-operative protocols, including their recommended use of compression garments, at your next follow up visit since every surgeon varies in what they require/advise.

Answer: Compression band after augmentation Thank you for your question. Your surgeon may be wanting to influence the decent of the implants within the breasts. It usually takes several months for the breasts to settle out. If the band is uncomfortable, I would revisit with your surgeon to see if there are other options.
