It's a kind of elasticated fabric band which fits round your body and presses your boobs down

not heard of that before, why would use that is it certain surgeon or if they use it for a reason xx

Do you have a 6 week check up or anything? Can you call the clinic and ask?
I notice you had your BA with Mr Sulaiman, I have mine in 3 days... how was he? Are you pleased with the result? xx

Hi Sue, it's used by some surgeons to help force the implants to drop into the pocket properly.

Sorry Missy123, I think all (or most) of the THG surgeons ask you to wear them for at least 6 weeks. I was told at my 1 month checkup to continue to wear it as my leftie hadn't dropped as much as my rightie.

what a great idea they all should use them as there prob would be less re-op's xx

thanks guys im pritty sure she said to stop wearing it after 6 weeks didnt know if i had to ask someone to make sure its okay, i have a check up on the 28th with Dr suliaman so im sure he will put me straight. they are a brill idea its helped mine loads as they were very stuck on looking at first as i had quite a big implant for my frame but now they look almost normal (:
flowergirl- Dr suliaman was great im so pleased with mine he is an amazing surgeon, im sure you will be very pleased with the results! xxx

Carol did u stop wearing it at 6 weeks and then were told when u went back to keep wearing it? xx

by carol_s 13th March 2011, 3:44 pm

No, the nurse told me at my 1 month follow up that I had to keep on wearing it and I should have seen my surgeon last Monday, but he was running late and I had a couple coming to see me about their wedding, so I had to postpone it. I have been wearing it on and off since 8 weeks - if I'm going out anywhere then I'll take it off, if I'm just at home working, then I'll wear it.

Missy, I remember talking to you just before your b/a, can't believe your that far gone already, gone so quick!!! Well its nearly my turn, this time next week it should be done, so excited!! I also have Dr Saliaman. So how are you getting on? Loving your new look? How are they now? Starting to drop and soften up?
Hope all is well for you hun. xxxx

Hey Missy,

I wear a chest binder! lol - I had no idea that was it's name, I just call it my strap. Anyway, I had my 1 week follow up yesterday and my surgeon is really happy with where things are settling. He even said I can "go easy" on my strap. My husband and I are like.... hmmmm how do I "go easy" on it?? The only thing I can really put it to is how I had to do it up pretty tight the last week so I've just loosened it so it's not quite so tight.

We need to have an emoticon wearing a Chest Bind - it would be so cute! hahah

You are sooo lucky to be at 6 weeks! I can't wait.

i finally called today and they said i can stop wearing it yaaaaaaaaay!! i also went and got measured for my first bra and im a 32DD so excited to wear it, not long now :D
KIRSTY- yeah im so happy they have dropped loads and look gorge in all my summer stuff cant wait to get in my new bras now its all so exciting, good luck & enjoy every second xx

by elleblondie 14th March 2011, 9:45 pm

Ohhhh.... Missy! That's so great! You must be so happy to be all done with that strap! I can't wait to be done with mine! Did you do it up less tight towards the end?

It's tricky finding clothes to hide that darn strap! Your size sounds really great that you've been left with! I am thinking I'm going to be about 34D! I can't wait!

by Missy123 14th March 2011, 9:51 pm

I know i might burn it haha im sure one is still a little bit higher but im sure it will drop more on its own right? Ermm i didnt do it less tight i just wore it at night towards the end or wore it all day and took it off for a few hours if i was going out. Awww it will come around quickly xxx

by KIRSTY# 15th March 2011, 10:00 am

That's great hun, pleased that your really happy with them. I can't bloody wait now!!!!lol.
That's good that the binder can finally come off, will make such a difference.
Thank you hun, I'm sure I will be loving it. xxx
