Discomfort from Sports Bra After Breast Reduction
The sports bra is causing me a bit of discomfort. It is not tight but just touching my nipples and scars is aggravating. Is there anything I can do about this?

Breast Reduction and Bra?
Thank you for the question.
The use of a soft pad between the hypersensitive areas and the bra should help.
Best wishes.

Bra and sensitivity
If your bra is uncomfortable, you may wan tto put some padding inside or talk to your doctor about what else you can wear.

Sensitivity of nipple and scars after breast reduction
Hypersensitivity of scars and the nipples after reduction mammplasty is very common. I recommend use of a ABD pad to cushion the crease and protect the nipple.Typically the sensitivity is heightened somewhere between '10 days to 3 weeks.

Hypersensitivity after breast reduction
Some patients have numbness after reduction surgery and others may have excess sensitivity. This resolves with time and massage and sometimes wearing a cotton T shirt under the bra or changing the bra helps.

Discomfort from sports bra after breast reduction
You should discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon. He or she may tell you that you can discontinue wearing the bra, at least on a consistent basis. I use a bra to help minimize swelling shortly after surgery, but don't feel strongly about my patients wearing it consistently starting about a week after surgery.
If your surgeon still wants you to wear the bra, think about placing some padding over your nipples and scars, to minimize the hypersensitivity.
Best of luck....

Yes, Stop wearing that bra. Call your surgeon to discuss and get a larger on or softer one. These are issues that you should discuss with the operating surgeon.

Discomfort after breast reduction
Sometimes patients experience hypersensitivity in the nipples after surgery. This is an unpleasant feeling when you touch the area or clothes rub against it. It is a temporary condition and usually goes away in 2-3 weeks. If it happens with my patients, I have them gently massage the area (use a littyle body lotion on the hands) of hypersensitivity to "desensitize" it. Scars can be tender as well and the same applies.
