What Should I Do if the Implants Are High but the Band is Causing Pain?

July 10, 2010
Asked By:6577anon in Baltimore, MD

(10 days after surgery) I am 5'4, thin. 400cc sillicon smooth implants were placed under the muscle (surgery under the breast). The band preassure is causing continues pain in the breast. Is that normal? Should I wear it 24 hours? What else can I do make the implants drop faster? Will pushing them down with my hands help at all or should I continue to wear the band over the top of the implants? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
