Title: Post-Op ace bandage compression alternatives
Post by: cartera on February 03, 2016, 01:56:31 AM
Are there any alternatives to the ace bandage they require you to wear for the first 2 months of post-op trans/peri-areolar method? I saw my doctor today and I completely forgot to ask, and I'm really inclined to not wear it to sleep tonight and just put it back on in the morning. Anyone have experience with this? Can I use tight standard tank top compression shirt from walmart or something?
I've been wearing it for a week and 2 days now and the swelling is gone (mostly, but when I touch it it's still stiff).
