What type of tape is used to tape a mild double bubble?

Question

Any recommendations on brands or type will be helpful thank you.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Assuming you are only recently out from surgery I would advocate a tighter fitting bra that can push the implant into the desired location until scar tissue forms to help prevent its sagging.  Unfortunately most cases of a double bubble require surgery to correct.  Hope this helps.

I suggest following your surgeon's post op instructions as he/she may different protocols. Please speak to your surgeon to discuss your concerns.Regards,

Dear yakviv30,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

I do not routinely tape a double bubble. If it is more than a few days after surgery, it is likely not going to help much. If I correct a double bubble I will often have my patients buy a thong bra to hold the breasts in place and push down the previously elevated soft tissue below the fold.
