What Kind of Bandage or Dressing Is Used?
Small pieces of tape (Steri Strips) are applied along the length of your incisions. These tapes help the scars heal, and I leave them in place for up to 2 weeks. I place all breast augmentation patients in a post-operative bra that is designed for the purpose. The bra places light pressure on the fold beneath the breasts and light pressure on top of the implants. It is worn for 2 weeks post-op and can be removed to bathe. After two weeks, any comfortable bra can be worn. There are some new bras specifically designed for augmented women. We can give you more information about these bras if you’re interested.
