My left stubborn chi-chi :(

Nini · 11-06-2009, 10:30 PM

Hello ladies! Just wondering if anyone else on here has had to wear the strap over one boob and under the other. I am almost 5 mo. post-op and my left has not completely dropped. I know it's normal and I need to be patient. I went to see my plastic surgeon today and he suggested i wear the strap in that manner since I love were the right boob is. I am also doing my massages and pushing more on the L side to help move it down. Just wonder if anyone else took this long to drop as well on one side.

I return in 6 wks to see if there is any improvement. If not it looks like he might have to go in to move the implant. He said it would be an in office procedure. Has anyone gone through that? I worry about not being completely under.

Thanks for listening ~
Nini

I am only 7 weeks post op, but since pulling a muscle my leftie is being stubborn!

There is a lady on the board who wore the strap only on one side, she is in my friends - I hope she sees this thread. Sorry I dont remember her name off hand. I think it really helped her.

I strap my left down using just an ace bandage for an hour at a time, and I sleep on my tummy. It seems to be helping.

Good luck!!

I had a re-do for deflation after 4 weeks and the side with the deflation had tightened up. My plastic surgeon is also having me go over the high one and under the other. I could really begin telling a difference in a couple of days. I have been wearing it for 10 days now for about 16 hours a day and they are close to being even already. My skin is starting to get red and irritated underneath from the bandage though.
