My ps told me to take a shower on my 2 day out , however I waited till my 4 day, after drains were out , still very little brusing, have gauze padding under surgical bra, although I ordered the marena bra from Amazon, I find it totally useless as the large doesn't fit, too tight , and cups are cut like a Demi bra , what a waste , thankfully my ps gave me 2 bras, will shop for others later this week

well done now take it easy for 2 weeks arms down and do nothing I had very little bruising or pain hopefully you will stay that way, don't look or touch them for about a week I found that helped them to settle and do what they had to, I kept the bra on 24/7 for the first month, good luck

I've had the same complaint about the Marena bra as well. Heard it was great and ordered a MED sized 34-36 as I was a 34F before. Didn't think my band size or back measurements changed? Found it both small and high with too many hooks to deal with. I did find 2 bras I find very comfortable and like very much. The Amoena Hannah is soft cotton, front closure with 5 hooks in front. Also bought a great bra on Ebay and just ordered a second called Caress Post Enhancement bra. Bought a 34D and it is super comfortable! I've been washing and wearing this one constantly. Very happy with it. You can search it on Ebay as I haven't found it anywhere else. Reasonably priced too!

Yes, that Marena bra is worthless ! I found a compression bra Annette Renolife on Amazon which I love. I'm 7 weeks p/o & have been wearing it since week 3. I'm a 36C now. I first ordered medium/large but felt it was too tight. I still had quite a bit of swelling then. Ordered L/XL...perfect ...until swelling went down. Now they're a bit loose but that's ok coz they are super comfortable yet supportive. I had a lot of Lipo on the side boob area & this bra just really gives such relief to the swelling in that area. Happy healing!

Having drains removed today, I know I will be much more comfortable, I am amazed at how high my nipples are, &!how perky my breast are, I feel the difference already
