I was told to wear a strap around my chest to help my implants settle. How tight should I wrap it?
Answer: How tight a strap shild be? As much as you can tolerate it in your daily activities. No need to be too tight. You should ask your surgeon or a nurse how tight they recommend. Good luck.

Answer: Upper pole compression Thank you for your question.A strap is a great way to help move along the settling of the implants. I used to give patients a strap band to wear but it is just another device that patients have to struggle with.A simple method is to flip the sports bra up over the top of the breast. I feel that will give just the right amount of compression. Be sure to get the OK from your surgeon before deviating from any of his/her instructions.Congrats on your surgery!- Dr. Bryson Richards

Answer: Compression straps after breast augmentation. I personally don't think this is effective treatment but the amount of pressure to be administered by such as strap should be upon the advice of your own surgeon.

Answer: Breast Implant Chest Strap I use elastic straps to help the implant settle into place a bit sooner. It should give firm compression, but should not cause discomfort. It should be worn at the top of the implant (sometimes a bit difficult) so that it pushes the implant inferiorly. Worn too low, it is not as effective. If it irritates the skin, I will suggest wearing a Tee Shirt beneath the strap.
