    The breast band is very important when the implants are placed through the axilla (armpit). This method does not involve cutting of the muscle so that the muscle remains strong compared to peri-areolar or infra-mammary approaches (which require cutting of the muscle). Although the implant position is perfect at the end of the surgery, when the patient wakes up, her muscles will try to push the implants up too high on the chest. The band prevents this from happening. Post-op follow-up is critical post augmentation and I see my patients every week to manage the position of the implants with the band. On occasion, one implant will settle down before the other implant, and on these occasions I will have the band go under the low implant and above the higher implant, bandilaro style. On average my patients wear the band for at least 3 weeks and sometimes up to 8 weeks or more for stubborn implants. SHOW LESS

    What does this garment do?

    Improves the end result of your breasts, enhances breast shape. This is worn instead of bandages as the strapping of bandages can cause blisters. The use of the chest band eliminates risks of blisters and sores forming.

    How long do I wear it for?

    Patients must wear a chest band for 2-4 weeks post cosmetic surgery. You will be discharged in one of these post surgery, however due to the length of time the garment needs to be worn patients often feel that is better to replace the garment. There you go hope this helps I think there £10.98
