Wearinga breast binding worn after breast augmentation has several purposes. 1. It can help control swelling in the upperpole of the breast. 2. It can help tokeep the implants resting in a lower position. 3. It can counteract the forces of the pectoralis muscle which aretrying to pull the implant up. Not everydoctor uses a breast band after every breast augmentation. Some surgeons do and some don’t. Most surgeons, however, decide whether theyneed it depending on the patient, their anatomy, size of implants, and desiredresults. Therefore, it is difficult tosay if you will need it or how long. That will really be up to your surgeon.
Hi and thanks for your question. It really depends on your plastic surgeon´s own experience, I usually recommend band when implants are placed under the muscle to stabilize them. The postoperative bra makes easier putting it on and taking it off because of the zipper in front of it.Regards.Dr. Milla
