I just had my one month old implants removed on Monday (August 10th). It was a simple explant done under local. No removal of capsules, no drains. My PS sent me home in a surgical bra, no tight bandages or anything. I asked the nurse when I could switch to a sports bra and she told me I can wear ANY bra I'm comfortable in. I feel as though they aren't as eager to help since I asked for an explant. How long would you recommend I wait before switching to a regular bra? Thank you!
Last Friday (sept 16) I had a breast lift and my implants removed. I am scheduled to get my drains out on Wednesday (sept 21). I am wondering how long I will have to wear this ace bandage as a bra? Will I change to wearing a cotton bra like I wore after getting the augmentation with lift? When I went for my post op today my breasts were a little smashed to the side, will this change?
Dear Dr's, I'm having my breast implants removed this summer, with no replacement. I see, from this site, that some ladies have been advised to wear a compression garment, others a sports bra, and others neither. I was wondering which is best to wear? Does it depend on the individual and our own surgeon? And if possible, could you tell me why compression is important for healing? Thank you. My implants are the dreaded pips, 290cc, sub-muscular, taking me from an A to a C/D. Had them for 6 years.
Three days post implant removal. I removed under local and havent taken any pain meds. Day 2 I removed bandage and put on sports bra but noticed pink rash (super itchy) went to urgent care and they said contact dermatitis from bra or surgery prep solution. Taken Benadryl but no real improvement. Any ideas ?
Hello, I am one week postop for breast implant removal. I forgot to ask my surgeon if I should massage the scars and also how long I should wait before wearing an underwire bra? He said I could wear a normal bra instead of my sports bra but I forgot to ask about underwire bras.
