Tape for Breast Lift right after surgery - what kind would be best?

If your first breast lift failed because your skin has stretched then your breast lift was inadequate. The results should depend on the external skin envelope. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.

Dear Ddrr123,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Silicone strips can be helpful to keep scar flat and thin, and a good supporting bra will help to prevent stretching and sagging.

I use paper tape or steri strips immediately after the case. After two weeks I switch to 3M silicone tape and continue it for 3 months.

Hi and welcome to our forum!In our practice, we employ steri-strips to lessen tension on the healing incision and to maintain wound closure. These reinforced rayon backed strips should NOT be frequently replaced as the repetitive procedure retraumatizes the incision. Trim away edges of the tape as they come loose with scissors. Adhesive tape does not help healing....It protects against forces tending to pull the healing incision apart.Best wishes...
