I had my 250cc PIP silicone breast implants removed 5 days ago and was wearing a compression bra as instructed. I am completely flat (back to a AA cup), no excess skin, healing well, minimal pain. I had the implants in 12 years and they were not ruptured, the thin capsules not removed. I cannot wear the compession bra any longer as it is affecting my breathing (asthma). I don't have compression bandages / wrap, just surgical strips over incisions. I am now wearing a looser bra. Is this ok?
Over 3 months ago i had my small over the muscle silicone implants removed.. was fine a couple weeks then they blew up larger than when i had implants and were hard and painful.. i now have to go every week or 2 and get drained. I wear a tight compression bra or bandage almost constantly to keep it from re-swelling.. my dr has never dealt with this and i don't want to be damaging anything if this is something i will need surgery again for.. help!? Any advice or just more time and detoxing?! Thanks
I seem to be finding a correlation for recover times and the need for wearing binders and compression bra with women who explant with drains and those who explant without drains. Is time spent in binder and bra different with each case?
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.
It has been 10 weeks since removal of under muscle silicone implants with partial capsule removal. My right breast is larger and tender. I thought seroma but not sure after ultrasound. There is fluiid in the entire breast cavity. I am having aspiration next week. They estimated 92 ml of fluid. How can I prevent this from occurring again? I have worn compression since surgery.
