HAving been a PA in Surgery for the first part of my career as a PA (and also being a costumer, who loves to make and wear corsets),I can say--probably best to wait a LONG time before wearing a corset that substantially changes or sturctures the basic shape. Our plastic surgeons always had patients wearing special structured bras for at least 6 weeks. Remember, that for augmentation, saline implants are put in, and significant "squashing" can actually rupture them (not a good thing). It may be a year or never before she could wear a corset.
Silicone implants, as far as I am aware, have not been used for really long time, and are outlawed, becasue of hte serious problems they produced back in the 1960's and 1970's, when they ruptured, causing very serious inflammatory conditions. A boned waist cincher would be a possibility though. Yours inc osutming, Lis AA On Fri, 20 May 2011 05:57:43 -0700 (PDT) Kay Shelton <dela...@yahoo.com> writes: > I'm hoping someone here will know.
