Professional Assessment of Implant Stabiliser Band Use

Use of an implant stabiliser band should be assessed according to implant position, the surgeon's postoperative protocol and the patient's individual needs.

Purpose of an Implant Stabiliser Band

An implant stabiliser band may be considered to help support an implant in the intended position when the surgeon considers it necessary.

It is not a product that every breast surgery patient needs routinely. Its use should be determined by the individual surgical plan.

Why Correct Positioning Matters

The band's position should match its intended purpose. Incorrect positioning may prevent the intended support and create unwanted local pressure.

If the band is to be used with a medical bra, assess how the two products fit and work together.

Determining Wear Duration

There is no single standard duration for wearing a stabiliser band. Implant position, recovery and the surgeon's follow-up plan determine the appropriate duration.

Patients should be advised not to change the band's position or wearing schedule on their own.
