How to deal with 16 year old leaking silicon implants?

I had a single mastectomy in 2015 with an implant one year later. My surgeon told me to always wear a bra (even at night!) to prevent it from folding or slipping. Everything is good so far, knock on wood. Wondering if any of you have received the same advice?

After my 2009 silicone implant surgery, my surgeon said to wear a surgical bra continuously for some period of time after the surgery but I don't remember for how long but it was limited. I was told to massage the breast every day for several months to help prevent too much scar tissue from forming. After a year there aren’t really any restrictions if there are no problems. I like wearing a compression sports bra but am finding it a challenge to find them anymore in a style I like.

I had saline implant 22 years ago and never given that advice. I am a big fan of chatGPT.
