Compression after breast implant removal, yes or no?

December 6, 2016
Asked By:tattooedlotus in Tampa, FL

My surgeon told me to not use compression after breast implant removal,he even said that fluid build up was good and that it would help me feel like I still had implants. Now I am reading just the opposite on realself! I didn´t have drains or compression at all and I have a seroma that is bothering me one week post surgery (one breast is twice the size). Should I use ace wrap now? Or should I drain the seroma first?
