Hey, as people probably know cos I've being going on about it- I had my implanon implant fitted yesturday. How long do I need to keep the big white fluffy bandage on? She put a plaster type thing on it too, which I've been told to keep on/change for 7 days.

Thankyou!

    Is the plaster under the "fluffy" bandage?

    Yeah it is, sorry about the crap terms for the bandages, but I have no idea what they are really called!

    Should be fine to take it off then. As long as you aren't oozing through the plaster.
