Why does one area of my breast hurt when I wear the implant strap? (Photo)

Question

I wear the implant strap but after a couple minutes,the bottom right of my LEFT breast hurts. Its not near the incision at all. Why do you think its hurting and should I stop wearing the strap? Also my left breast is not dropping at fast as my right. I'm 3 weeks out .. Thank you for your answers , I really appreciate it.

Hello and thanks for your question. I use breast bands on every patient. They work, but they hurt. Give your body s break here and there and don't wear it too tight. There will be less pain. Best, Dr. ALDO.

I personally don't understand the utility of compressive bans after breast augmentation. The tissues are inflamed in the pressure generated on those tissues by the implant can cause discomfort. Report this to your plastic surgeon.

Hi... thank you for the question... and photo.. this pain usually is due the implant compressing this area and the swollen.. do not remove your strap until your PS indicated so .. and that implant will drop.. give it some time
