How tight is too tight when wearing breast augmentation band?

Dear rrrr111,your band should be tight but not too tight to cause you pain or discomfort. Every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommend to his patients so it would be the best to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Thank you for your question. It is best to have your Plastic Surgeon show you exact placement and pressure of band. The band typically needs to be worn tight enough to put pressure on the upper portion of the breasts to assist in the implants falling into the breast pocket. 

 Postop protocols vary from surgeon to surgeon and its best to speak to your PS about how 'tight' the band should be.  He would be the best individual to give you this advice.

BEST to see your chosen operative surgeon in a follow up list to discuss the use of the postoperative breast band.

You want to wear the band tight enough to allow pressure to the breasts, otherwise it is not doing you any good.
