Compression vs no compression after breast reduction?

November 21, 2024
Asked By:Clnewlin in Sanger, California

I have had consultations with two surgeons. One requires a medical compression bra 24/7 for 3 months and the other requires Micropore tape for 3 months but NO compression ever. I’m 65, 5-3”, 130# and looking to remove about 500gms per side which both doctors agree on. I want to follow “my” doctors recommendations but I question how they can be so opposed?
