i had a scarless breast lift and removap and replacement of implants. My right breast nipple wanted to point down so Dr is having me wear the tape for 3 months to have it corrected. It's called KT tape. Is this normal to use the tape? The tape hurts my skin. I'm 9 days post op.

It's very likely that you have capsular contraction which has pulled the implants upwards, and has revealed the IMF scar, in which case you will need a capsulectomy and repositioning of the implants.

It's unclear to see what is happening around your incision. It's possible that you just have a loss of epidermal layer of the skin, in which case local care can help this heal on its own. However, if the implant is exposed, then another operation might be involved.
