So I've had breast augmentation. I used to be a 34d and have ahd 550cc implants. My surgeon has told me to wear a strap for six weeks which makes it super painful. Is it necessary to wear and what does it actually do?

Answer: Implants Please follow your surgeon's advice. Straps are used to help minimize upward movement of the implant, especially behind the muscle, and help expand the lower portion of your breasts to encourage your implants to settle.

Answer: Strap after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. A strap is helpful postoperatively, particularly after under the muscle augmentations, in encouraging the implant to settle into position. Initially, the implants tend to "ride high" as your body learns to accommodate to the presence of the implant under the muscle. Time, and the strap serves to encourage the implants descent into the proper position. Confer with your surgeon as to if and for how long he or she would like you to wear the band.Best wishes,Dr. Morrissey
