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: Wearing breast bands after surgery 6 months is too much. I usually recommend my patients to wear a compression band for 4-6 weeks orsports bra after the surgery to keep the shape of the breast that we have givenduring the surgery. After 6 weeks, patients can wear whatever kind of bra theylike.

Answer: Bandeau Is Used to Lower the Implants Thank you for your question. If your surgeon is recommending a bandeau, they may think that the implants are currently riding too high and would like to push them down. A bra conversely would prevent the implants from lowering.

Answer: Compression Band After Breast Augmentation While sometimes a compression band may be utilized post surgery for breasts that are sitting in a high position, it is normally not needed for a prolonged amount of time. Massage and giving it time will allow them to settle nicely on their own. Breast implants usually settle within a few months at most and compression is not commonly required for extended periods of time. You should consult with your plastic surgeon regarding his specific recommendation of wearing the compression band for 6 months.

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.
