Itching around the elastic in my post surgery bra. Any remedies?

Hi there, Thank you for your question. In some cases you can put a thin tank top or t-shirt under the bra OR you can contact your surgeon and ask them if it is ok to replace the surgical bra with something more comfortable. Best, 

Thank you for your question,Switching or washing your bra might help reduce the itching if there is any residue on it from surgery. You may also have a sensitivity to the surgical soap or the adhesive tape. Talk to your surgeon about using antihistamine medications. Hope this helps! Best of luck with your recovery.Sincerely,Jaime Perez, MD, FACS

Thanks for the question. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling. Kind regards
