I see some pictures of girls post op with their boobs taped up with microfoam dressing. Wanted to know the benefit in that
Answer: Micro Foam Tape & Breast Surgery Thank you for your question. That's a great question. As a 3M Micro Foam tape lover, this one makes me chuckle a bit. We use the tape to stabilize the position of the implant if the inframammary fold is worked on or to encourage more rapid descent if the implants are riding high because of tight tissues or large implants. Although it makes us feel better, there is little scientific evidence regarding its use. All the best!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Micropore tape Recovery after a breast enhancement procedure can be very straight forward with the right surgeon. Precise technique with minimal trauma leads to little pain after surgery. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. I have patients wear a soft bra after breast surgery for a few weeks along with micropore tape to splint the incisions. At that point the scars are generally very stable and we move to normal bras (or none) and long term scar management with silicone. Most important is a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon regarding this procedure. Don’t settle for less!

Answer: No taping post breast augmentation Thanks for your question. My preference is not to use micro foam tape so I can't describe the benefit. When I make my incision in the inframammary crease, I use a small steri-strip over the incision as the dressing. Then, I have my patients wear a support bra for one week to re-establish their natural crease under the breast. My patients seem very comfortable with this approach and appreciate the simplicity of post-op management.Best of luck to you.Dr. Ted Eisenberg

Answer: Use of tape with breast augmentation I occasionally use the micro foam tape to stabilize the position of the implant and the infra mammary fold. One of the draw backs is if its placed on the skin with tension it can cause blisters. There is no scientific evidence that taping does anything, but in some of our experiences it has worked well, so we continue to do it. So in conclusion, some use the tape and others don't. But that doesn't really matter, what matters is that you trust that your surgeon is trying to ensure that you have the best outcome . I hope this helps and best wishes.
