Can I remove my compression bandages 8 days after my breast augmentation?

donnastacey83
I had my breast augmentation 8 days ago with 300cc under the muscle with silicone monobloc textured implants. My surgeon tells all patients that the compression bandage needs to stay on for 2 weeks. I am allergic to elastoplast and I'm having a reaction to them. My surgeon has advise to take antihistamines but keep the bandages on. He is in Belgium and I am in the UK so I can't physically go to see him. I can't see why I can't just go straight into a sports bra now. Would this cause me problems?
